Birkmyre made it back-to-back wins against a tough Wigtownshire side at the weekend in the third instalment of West Division Two fixtures.

- TAYLOR MURRAY

Despite being on the wrong end of some poor refereeing decisions, they fought back from 26:14 down to take the win by 31 points to 26.

The game was very even for the initial passages, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

The match then appeared to turn slightly in the Kilmacolm side's favour when the visitors saw yellow for a deliberate knock on in the 15th minute.

However, 'Myre could not capitalise on the player advantage and in fact went a score down only four minutes later when a chip through was poorly defended, which allowed 'Shire in for the converted score.

It didn’t take long for Birkmyre to get back level as, in the 22nd minute winger, Jonny Davidson finished off an excellent passage of play which saw them go from one side of the pitch to the other, stretching the defence to touch down at the corner flag. David Cruickshank converted from the touchline.
