Oban Lorne 45
Uddingston 7
Tennent’s West Division 2
On a cold and sunny Saturday afternoon Oban welcomed Uddingston RFC to Glencruitten for a top of the table clash between the teams in second and third position in West Division 2.
Oban were looking to continue their run of form following last week’s win away at Loch Lomond by overturning one of their away defeats earlier in the season when Uddingston won 15-7 in a tight game.
A healthy crowd was on hand in fantastic conditions looking to enjoy the fare on offer withex-players invited to come for a free pie and a pint at half-time. The Glencruitten playing surface was in fantastic condition yet again, a testament to Argyll and Bute groundsman Ian Hay for all his hard work over the season.
Coach Andrew Johnston had to shuffle the cards yet again witha number of players coming back into the team. Corrie Louw and Radi Maksimov returned in the front row, withcaptain Iwan Roberts coming back into the squad withregular half backs Vasil Borisov (injured) and Finlay Carmichael unavailable.
