HT Muss 21 - Peebles 10
After regrouping at half time Musselburgh came out second half and scored try of the day from Marcos Perez-Young after a wide move down the touchline.
There was then a moment of controversy as Peebles scored wide out after a chip through and dash for the line with the peebles player clearly knocking on trying to ground the ball. (You know something is wrong when Charlie Devine gets upset at the ref!)
Not to be deterred Musselburgh got a grip on the game with some great exit kicks from Aaron Weatherhead and Charlie Prentice for field position. This enabled Max Duxburry to go on a bullocking run to score under the posts to complete the scoring.
Bruce Weathered contributed 4 out of 5 conversions for a final score of
