Hillhead Jordanhill 5

Biggar 56

Al Stewart at Hughenden

In taking another five points the statisticians were trying to figure out when Biggar had last claimed two back to back bonus point wins.

Answers on a postcard please!

The win lifts Biggar up just one place to 6th in the table with other results confirming the belief that this League is pretty much wide open with each side on their day capable of beating others.

Hill Jills opened strongly and only stout defence kept the Biggar line intact – in previous seasons the defence would have been breached but there is a steely determination borne of sound organisation which, though not infallible, is working.

Making their way upfield a sustained passage of play eventually spawned ball which Davy Reive flicked to Notman who burst through the cover defence for a good try, converted by Richard Peacock.

Hill Jills took advantage of a penalty to advance play forward. Hooker Harry Perston scoring after a couple of good phases of attacking play.

Biggar's next forays into the host's territory saw them take full advantage of a lineout error and resultant close scrum, Reive on hand to dot down following a big shove in the tight.

The next Biggar attacks came to nought as two lineouts proved costly but normal service was resumed as Peacock converted a penalty to stretch Biggar's lead to 17-4 just after the half hour.

Ewan Stewart made a typically bulldozing run through the middle prior to the next try. Alistair Sinclair made good ground on the right before ball was fed left and with the cover stretched, ball was fed wide to David Paterson who burst round and through the remaining defenders to motor over.

This came just before half time and took Biggar into a commanding 22-5 lead.

Following a poor restart from Hills, Biggar forced the home side into their own half.

Pressing forward Gregor Stewart took an interception and sprinted to the line from some 35 metres, neatly avoiding the cover defence on the way. Peacock converted for 27-5.

Home hopes were dealt a blow as their flanker Ryan Reilly was sent to the bin, Biggar taking advantage to add to their tally.

Peacock crossed for a try after Reive pillaged a loose lineout.

And then just before they regained full strength, McDonald was freed for a run to the line. Peacock's conversion rebounded off the upright.

Peacock added another try, after a strong run from Donald Voas and Stewart's wide pass.

The final try – number nine - was credited to prop Voas who rounded a maul to run in from some 10 metres.

There was just enough time for Biggar to lose the services of Ewan Sanderson who had worked tirelessly throughout but who was on this occasion deemed to have obstructed the Hillhead breakout after a penalty award.
