The same four players that had been in the winning team against Glasgow a week earlier were involved in another tough encounter played in bitterly cold, but this time dry conditions. After a slow and nervy start, the Caley squad found some ball and space and took the lead for the first time in the match not long after the break.

Despite a large penalty count against, Caley maintained pressure, regained composure and by the end of the match looked fresh and ready to stretch their 26-17 lead when the final whistle was blown.

In the 3rd/4th play-off Glasgow and Edinburgh drew 24-24. Pictured are Harry Mercer, Rory Fraser, Mungo Somerville and Ross McCrostie.
