Unconformity (Excerpt)

In women's weekend rugby, Kelso Ladies continued their dominance in the Tennent's East Region League Stage 2a, seeing off Grangemouth Stagettes in a fiercely contested match in the shadow of the Kelpies.

Strong forward play delivered a first try for Nicola Turnbull, followed up in kind by Sarah Hope, putting Kelso 10 points ahead in the first half.

Despite Grangemouth pushing back strongly in the second, Kelso's Jenna Fenwick and Kirsty Wedlock landed two tries – Wedlock in her first game for the Kelso side. Katie McLaren’s two conversions and a late Stagette try took the final score to 12:24 to Kelso.

Here’s coach Kelly Mitchell.
