	Waid FPs 12 – Stirling University 16 Newly promoted Waid kicked off their season against their old promotion rivals, Stirling University, on Saturday. In the first half, Stirling chose to play with the wind in their favour and were rewarded after 3 minutes with a penalty in front of the posts. The visitors easily scored making it 0-3. Shortly afterwards they managed to put the ball over the line, in the corner, to make it 0-8 – luckily for Waid, they missed the subsequent conversion. 25 minutes in, Stirling scored another penalty in front of the posts bringing proceedings to 0-11. Waid found themselves struggling to get to grips with the windy conditions in the first half and opted to pass the ball, and run with it, rather than try and kick it into the wind. After the break, with the wind now at their advantage, Waid changed tactics and sought to kick deep in Stirling’s half. The new strategy paid off just ten minutes in when Waid centre Ross Doak managed to score. Ross’ try was duly converted by his debutante team mate Alex Broome, to make the score 7-11. However, shortly afterwards, Stirling scored again to extend their lead to 7-16. Not to be deterred, in the dying moments of the game, Waid’s young guns managed to pull off another try. Some good passing play, following a line out, saw Doak freed up again to score his second try of the game, making the final score 12-16. Man of the match points were awarded to Eric Anderson 3, Alex Broome 2 and Ross Doak 1. After the game, Waid’s captain Barry Gourlay said “We were really pleased today with the way that our younger guys played. We have some promising players coming through from the school teams, which is very positive for the club.” Waid’s next game is on Saturday away to Mackie Academy FP and players are reminded to meet at the rugby club at 11.30.
