A weekend of mixed fortunes for the various Chieftains teams.

On Friday night the “A”s had a successful outing against Murrayfield. The match was played in three 20 minute sessions and the Chieftains were able to field a large number of players. Nobody was really keeping score but the Chieftains won by quite a lot to a couple of tries by Murrayfield.

A Saturday the Chieftains travelled to play Ayr at Millbrae. Widely fancied as potential Premiership champions this season and fielding nearly a full team of former Super Six players Ayr proved a handful for the Chieftains. Their power play resulted in a loss for the Chieftains 34 -17 although as reported in The Offside Line the game was far from one sided.
