Leith go second in the table

On a day when few games were played due to the weather, Leith were able to take advantage in a hard fought encounter to go second in the league

After dominating the first half, all Leith had to show for their efforts was a converted Gareth try, which was looking like scant reward indeed.

Aitchy managed to settle the nerves with a thirty five yard run and crash over for a try (actually about 5 yards) just before half time.

Second half went the same way with Leith dominating territory and possesion, RDVC scored a breakaway try, but never really threatened apart from that.

A Burgess penalty put the result beyond doubt.

Summary

A win we fought hard for and a game wecould have lost last year.

Leading Leithers

Joint man of the match this week, Winton for general good play and toughing it out in the last 5 when he was toiling and Pat for coming back on despite being injured (damaged hairstyle - possibly split ends) - Hee haws of steel!
