The Duns Mini squad gave themselves a final check up last Sunday as they readied themselves for this weekend's trip to Melrose.
As the Melrose tournament has no room for the P3 touch team the more robust of that age group took the opportunity to practice their tackling technique in preparation for helping out the Fab Fours at the week end, a session that the national team might well have benefitted from if their performance at Murrayfield later that afternoon was anything to go by.
Those who prefer to stay with the non contact game for the present will have this weekend off.
The Fab Fours, Famous Fives and Super Sevens will gather at the clubrooms on 9.30 on Sunday planning to depart at 9.45
