Battle of the BATS & the Captain's Ceilidh

The Battle of the BATS took place at Wardie on Saturday 20th August and it proved to be an extremely worthwhile exercise for players and coaches from all the Clubs.

With the Edinburgh Accies 1st XV friendly at Murrayfield cancelled, it was an opportunity for Accies Coach Ian Barnes to give his players match time.  The final match between Accies & BATS U/19's was not played as the Accies backroom staff decided that, with the season starting next week, any injuries would be unwelcomed in a match, effectively between their 1sts & 2nds.

Broughton won the bragging rights in the final game, beating Trinity 17-07 with debut tries from Francois the Fireman and Chris Kelly.  The boot of guest player Paul Arnold took the rest of the points for a Broughton side who have come together in the last 7 days!
