Perthshire U16 15 Kirkcaldy U16 24 This friendly ,which had been arranged after the previous week's drawn match,was welcome practice for both teams. The going underfoot was slightly heavy but the weather was excellent and both teams tried to throw the ball around. This week Kirkcaldy started the brightest and Jamie scored after a quick tap penalty. |

CARTHA QP 13 KIRKCALDY 11
For the second week running Kirkcaldy scored a last minute try in an attempt to salvage a draw. This time Quintan Sanft's kick, originally on target, caught in a gust of wind and sailed past the upright, leaving Cartha narrow but deserving winners.
The Dumbreck pitch had survived an early morning inspection, but in reality it was far from being fit for play. Water-logged in goal areas and muddy patches everywhere hardly helped to produce any sort of constructive rugby. a gusting diagonal wind, laced with icy showers, made the playing conditions almost impossible. Cartha secured the ball from the kick-off, forcing a series of mauls which took them almost to the Kirkcaldy line. Concerted pressure eventually led to flanker Ross Gillies crashing through for a fourth minute unconverted try. |

Kirkcaldy U16 24 Perthshire U16 24
At last a game of rugby-after a prolonged winter break it was good to see both teams play with a lot of energy and good spirit.Usually the away team is meant to leave their legs on the bus but Kirkcaldy were the slow starters this time succumbing to two early scores. |

DUMFRIES SAINTS 16 KIRKCALDY 16 Conditions at Park Farm were far from ideal for this first league game of the New Year with a gluey pitch making constructive rugby problematical. With only the occasional exception, neither side could make much progress into the scoring zones and until Andrew Ainslie’s counter four minutes from the end a try had looked unlikely. With the sides tied at 9-9 at that stage through three penalties apiece. Ainslie’s score seemed to have secured the points for his side. Then came with the last play of the game, an equalising try and conversion for Kirkcaldy which gave them a fortunate share of the spoils. |

MORGAN RUGBY 18 KIRKCALDY 32 With Morgan struggling to field a team which included coach Andy Henderson in their pack and having to make do without any replacements, a more or less full strength. Kirkcaldy started as clear favourites, emphasised by monopolising early play. Rustiness however showed itself at every turn with constant errors which eventually produced an opening unconverted try for Morgan’s Joel Voulevu. This rustiness never really left the Kirkcaldy ranks and although they outscored their opponents by six tries to two it was an unconvincing display against a Morgan side which stuck to its task |
