However from the resulting scrum Jack Wilson managed to wriggle his way through and score his and Strathies first try which Ruaridh Lawrie converted. Blair finished the first half strongest and lead by 19-7 at halftime. After the interval Blair carried on where they left off and again scored an early try, missing the conversion.It was Strathie's team captain macauley holgate who showed great strength to power through and kick-start the Sharks come back in the second half, scoring 3 lung bursting tries holding off Blair's tackles in the process.
