“Woke up this morning, sore. But happy as Larry. We have something special here. Let’s keep it going”.

Kirkcaldy 2nd XV, with recent defeats behind them, have slipped into the relegation zone in Caledonia (Midlands) Division 2.

This Saturday they have a home fixture (kick-off 3pm) against the side immediately below them, Morgan Rugby. They beat the Dundee side back in October and will have to repeat that victory to ensure their status in this league.
