Marr Rugby round-up: Pre-season continues - Stirling result
The second pre-season match saw a squad of thirty 1s and 2s players face Stirling County RFC playing three 30 minute periods.
Stirling opened well and were stronger and sharper in open and set piece play in attack and defence. They quickly identified opportunities and punished Marr. Marr's troops never gave up and especially in the second period they showed that could match their bigger opponents and control phases and importantly score.
1st period: 5-24
2nd period: 12 - 12
3rd period: 5-12
