Langholm RFC took on Ross High RFC at a cold and very windy Milntown on Saturday. Despite the overnight heavy rain, the pitch was playable but soft.

The match was notable for the 350th appearance of Steven Nicol, who has been a great servant of the club over many years and is still at the top of his game.
In the first half Langholm were playing with the wind and tried hard to use this advantage from the start and put pressure on the visitors. With 16 minutes played, Ben Jardine went in for a good try which Bailey Donaldson converted.
