MARR GO SEVEN-UP TO WIN PREMIERSHI­P ROUND-UP

-

Bulls inflicted another dose of Super6 misery on the struggling Knights at the Greenyards.

After the sides traded early penalties, the visitors took control with a peel-off try from hooker Sam Kitchen.

Ross Thomson converted – then added the extras to his own touchdown on the stroke of the interval.

Skipper Russell Anderson gave the Knights fresh hope in the 50th minute with a powerful finish.

But Kitchen completed his double before Stafford Mcdowall made sure for the Bulls.

Thomson booted the rest of their points.

Marr bolstered their title credential­s with a clinical 43-12 home-turf victory over Jed-forest.

Their seven-try tally underlined their superiorit­y with Conor Bickerstaf­f, Ben Grant, Mackenzie Pearce (2) Jack Preston, Fraser Grant, Sean Bickerstaf­f crossing the line.

The rest of their points came from the boot of Colin Sturgeon.

Currie were the other big winners as they thumped GHA 40-6 at Malleny Park.

Despite the wretched conditions, the home troops produced some thrilling rugby to create touchdowns for Graeme Carson, Mike Vernel, Wallace Nelson, Reece Patterson, Roy Vucago and Adam Hall

Aberdeen GR kick started their campaign with a precious 20-10 success at Newfield.

The Dons’ tries were claimed by Nat Coe and Dave Anderson.

Elsewhere, the Glasgow Hawks revival stalled at Balgray, where Selkirk grabbed a 17-14 in a tense and untidy encounter.

And Hawick used home advantage to outgun Musselburg­h 26-19.
