Moray 2nds lost by 50 points to 12 against a well organised Stornoway side in their latest Caledonia League Division 2 North fixture last Saturday at Morriston.

The islanders took an early lead when a knock-on from the home team gave them the possession to score a converted try for 0-7.
The home side tried hard to get back on terms but Stornoway added a second converted try to make it 0-14.
Moray did get on the board and reduced the lead when debutant Arran Lawson-Johnston scored after a good team break from the half-way line.

Late in the half, the Elgin side leaked two cheap unconverted tries leaving the half-time score at 5-24.

The Elgin side started the second half brightly and applied pressure in the 22. Andrew McBean scored from a move off a penalty and Chris Clarke added the conversion, reducing the lead to 12-24.

Moray continued to press but a penalty gave the islanders the opportunity to advance into the 22 and break through the defence to score a converted try for 12-31.

Some powerful home scrummaging was causing problems but some loose defending leaked two tries taking the Stornoway lead to 12-43.
Heads never went down and the home side tried hard to add to their tally but in the last play of the game, the visitors broke and scored a final converted try for a final score of Moray 12 Stornoway 50.

It had been a hard one to take for the Moray side as they had competed really well in the game. The scrum was strong but a number of unforced errors had been their undoing in good field positions. There was a few issues with defensive organisation but this will improve the more game time the players get together.

Moray 2nds do not have a fixture this Saturday but they are away to Highland 3rds on the 14th October.
