Arran record a thumping friendly win over Kilmarnock

 

Arran RFC                54

Kilmarnock 3rds      7

Arran Rugby Club won by an impressive 54 points to seven points in a one-sided affair against a depleted Kilmarnock thirds side in a friendly at Kilmarnock Rugby Club last Saturday.

It was Arran’s first competitive match of the season and they ran in some good scores in a stop start game dictated by the whistle.

In the second half, as a result of tired bodies and injuries, Arran had to send some of their reserves to play for Kilmarnock which led to some interesting hits and a McMaster on McMaster collision or two.

The club thanks Ardrossan Accies Rugby Football Club for sending along extra players who lined up for both teams.

Arran is looking to set up their next fixture, hopefully at home, with several clubs expressing interest. The president did not want to comment on Kilmarnock’s only try.
