[QUOTE="iINDOMINUSxx, post: 666575, member: 62610"] [B]Full Time: Melrose 28 - 36 Heriots (14 - 17 HT)[/B] Man of the match: Jason Hill (Heriot’s) Tries: Austin Lockington, Andrew Nagle, Ruaridh Knott(2) / Murray Douglas, Penalty Try, Struan Cessford (2), Harry Boisseau Conversions: Richard Mill (4/4) / Graham Wilson (4/5) Penalties: / Graham Wilson (1) Sin Bin: Jack Turley [IMG]http://i.gyazo.com/e303dd6db1293148b509d0546de177d0.png[/IMG] The inaugural BT Scottish Rugby Community Shield, hosted by last season’s Premiership winners, Melrose, against Cup winners Heriot’s got the new rugby year off to a flying start in a nine-try thriller. The visitors edged the victory, leading by just one point going into the final minute with the win nailed by a converted try in the closing seconds. [IMG]http://i.gyazo.com/ef256e8522078eebc6458430e33fc339.png[/IMG] The visitors put the first points on the board with a penalty, following pressure on the line and attack out side, from scrum half Graham Wilson. Then Heriot’s captain, flanker Jack Turley, scooped up a loose ball and broke for the line, Wilson adding the extras to extend the lead to 10-0. Melrose capped a fightback with a break from centre Andrew Nagle, offloaded to full back Fraser Thomson and on to centre Austin Lockington for the try, converted by stand-off Richard Mill. A converted penalty try to Heriot’s put them back in the driving seat with the score 14-17 at half time. A brace from Melrose flanker Ruaridh Knott, either side of a yellow card for Heriot’s Turley, extended the home side’s lead to 28-17. Sustained pressure on the line once the visitors were back to 15 men saw prop Struan Cessford touch down, pulling the score back to 28-22, closely followed by a converted try from their lock Russell Nimmo and Wilson. There was no let-up in pace going into the closing minutes as Heriot’s sealed their win with a try in the top corner from replacement Rory Carmichael, Wilson’s touchline conversion sailing through the uprights to make it 28-36 at the whistle.
