Birmingham/Solihull 12-18 Ayr.
Early pressure in the first quarter was equally met by both teams until Mark Stewart was sin binned for not rolling away from the tackle.During this power play the home side chalked up 2 tries ,one of which was converted to lead 12-3.Cammy Taylor read the attacking team's intentions , intercepted and ran all of 50 metres to score his try, closing the gap to 12-8.A further penalty award closed the difference between these two Titans , to 12-11.Kenny Murray, Ayr's head coach, must have had a few choice words to say to his team at Half -Time.This exhortation would probably include a few choice adjectives that would make a sailor blush.In the third quarter play was 50/50 , with the Ayr back row in tremendous form both in attacking opportunities and especially in defensive proficiency.Late in the fourth quarter,Johnnie Beattie, Glasgow No.8 ,after a great surge near the home touch line, popped a pass to our young hopeful Robert Ferguson to score a well deserved try for the visitors.This was converted by Grant Anderson to secure the lead and eventual victory over a well organised home team which had recently beaten Doncaster.No doubt this tremendous performance and result will be built on by Ayr as they go to face Rotherham next Saturday.An excellent showing after our long spell of 6 weeks without a game.
