DETERMINATION ETCHED: Steve Nicol heads for the try line
 

Slow start for Langholm gives home side the advantage but they secure try bonus away from home

Langholm RFC took to the road again on Saturday this time to play Haddington RFC at Neilson Park.
It was a side that had a few changes from previous weeks. the changes driven by a spate of injuries to a number of  key players.
It was a very bad start by Langholm and Haddington capitalised on some poor defensive work by the visitors scoring 5 tries and 3 conversions in the first 19 minutes to lead 31-0.
However this seemed to galvanise Langholm into action and they started to attack the home line  with more purpose and it was Jamie Gormley that went over for a try after 27 minutes. The visitors were now playing with much more confidence and looked to increase their score but it was Haddington who went further ahead with  a converted try after 39 minutes to  make the half time score 38-5.
