Biggar Colts 73pts v Dunfermline Colts 0pts THE way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.

And in a friendly Biggar Colts showed their ability and togetherness by convincingly beating Dunfermline Colts who are in the National League.

On a great day for running rugby, Biggar were ready from kick off to play a competitive game up front as the Dunfermline pack were big and looked as though they would be a match up.

Indeed they were for the first 15 minutes as the Biggar pack tried to impose the advantage up front which took time but when they did the backs were ready to launch their speed and skill.

This they did to good effect going in for the first score in the corner after Gregor Stewart went blind, passing to William Grieve who in turn put Martin Hunter in for a try.

Straight from the kick off, Biggar went further ahead with a strong break by Peter Steele who gained considerable yards, offloading to Craig Stewart who bullied his way up the wing before passing to William Grieve who went in for a try converted by Gregor Stewart.

Dunfermline were showing cracks in their defence and Simon Denholm exploited a gap to then pop a pass to Mark Ewart who in his normal manner scorched through the defence to score.

Dunfermline were simply unable to deal with the forwards relentless pressure and power.

A strong feature of his game was the tactical kicking into space and often to the corners which constantly forced Dunfermline to turn.

It was a kick by Stewart from the back of a ruck that allowed Danny McAllister to time the bounce and power through for another converted try.

In the second period Dunfermline at the start struggled to find their game as the Biggar forwards especiall Ewart, William Grieve and Kyle Anderson were starting to rumble up the park . These players may take the limelight but it is everyone in the team who makes this happen.

Ewart, who was on the wing due to injuries, was given the ball to then go off again on a typical rumbling run to score in the corner.

Biggar did not take easy as the clock wound down and Liam McCarry totally outpaced the defence to go in for his second try.

Following this Gregor Stewart released Stevie Campbell at pace who in turn timed a pass to Steele to power over.

From a kick off Ross Jackson stormed up the park to go over for a converted try and the last score of the day was left to ever present Ryan Anderson who along with his brother Kyle showed great strength with some hard tackling.
