West of Scotland 28 - 19 Watsonians: Battling West breeze towards last eight

This deserved five-point win pretty well guarantees West a place in the quarter-finals of the Premiership Cup. However the march on Murrayfield was far from the mind of coach Keith Robertson as he said: "That was a win we needed; now it's down to Selkirk next week."

Robertson was thinking in league terms where West, like Watsonians, are fighting for their Premiership 1 lives in the play-offs. West share bottom spot with Selkirk after two unsuccessful games played.

With the Watsonians coach Marcus Di Rollo holidaying in France, spokesman Simon Ebbett said: "First half West did a good job of grinding at us and making us tackle; second half (when we had the wind) they were equally adept at pinning us in our half and keeping the ball away from us."

West had the conditions behind them in the first half when they scored their four tries. After stand-off Conor Davis put the ball in the right place, Elliott McLaren, David Young and Mark Davis touched down.

The other counter was an interception run in by centre Richard Dalgleish. Despite the gale Conor Davis struck home all four conversions.

Centre Andrew Skeen's 42nd minute try gave Watsonians hope but the brace from prop Danny Moussa came too late. Mike Ker converted two.
