HJRFC 2ndXV v Biggar 4th November 2006

Hills won 27-15

Hills 2nd XV gained a valuable away win at windswept Biggar with a performance that for
the most part was highly polished

The first half was dominated by the visitors forwards with locks Gallacher and Gillespie
putting in great shifts which reminded older Hills supporters of Murray Bell at his best. It
was the visitors impressive no 8 Adam Kemp that opened the scoring following good
mauling by the Hills pack and this was followed soon after by Stuggy crossing the line
following a good passing movement that started 60 metres back by Michael Wrathall and
Mousey

Both conversions were missed but Hills went in happy leading 10.0 at the break

If Hills thought that they could finish off Biggar quickly they were sadly mistaken as the
home side within 10 minutes of the restart soon found themselves in front by 15 points to
10 thanks mainly to some precious kicking from Hills no 10 Gollum

With 30 minutes left to play Hills could have folded but lead by the inspirational Alan
Cahoon they soon began to take the game to the home side. The forwards were starting
to dominate proceedings with good rucking and mauling and it was no surprise that Vinnie
barged over in the corner following excellent play by Weir

Auben and Gollum were now starting to control the game and it was soon after that Hills
scored again with Kemp going over following good driving play. The try was converted to
give Hills a 22 points to 10 lead

The final score went to Hills flying winger Stephen Dewar who beautifully collected a
difficult bouncing ball to sprint through the opposition defence to tie things up for Hills
