	Waid FPs 57 v Montrose & District 17 On Saturday, Waid recorded another victory in their penultimate league game of the season, with a resounding win over Montrose. However, they paid a price for having to play on into the summer months, with the hard ground causing difficulties during the match. Despite this, Waid easily controlled the game and scored tries from Barry Gourlay (2), Mark Stormonth (2), Marc Horsburgh, Ian Brocklebank, Mick McCowan and Robert Horsburgh, while Ally Thomson’s conversion kicking was on top form. Montrose were only able to reply with 17 points, to make the score 57-17. Man of the match points were awarded to Barry Gourlay 3, Duncan Fraser 2 and Mark Stormonth 1. Unfortunately, with just two minutes to go until full time, Waid’s captain Barry Gourlay was carried off the park after suffering a serious ankle injury. He will now miss the remainder of the season, including the crucial play-off against RAF Kinloss, on 5th May, as he recovers from torn ligaments in his ankle. Vice captain Mark Stormonth said after the game “We had a really good game today, with lots of players putting in strong individual performances, but it was unfortunate that Barry got injured right at the end. His studs got caught in the dry ground as he turned to pass the ball. This is why we shouldn’t be playing at this time of year; the hard, dry ground can cause all sorts of problems for players”. Barry will join several other key players who will be unavailable for the play-off, meaning that this will probably be the most difficult game of the season so far. Next Saturday, Waid take on Bannockburn in what will be their final league game of a very long season. Bannockburn are currently 3rd bottom of the Midland Caledonian League, whilst Waid have guaranteed their second placed spot and play-off place.
