On Saturday 8th February the Annan second team set off to play a friendly fixture against Ambleside Centurions.

Word about the big game was out and players from many local sides turned out in the hope of participating. Negotiations were had and both squads were strengthened. With that all settled the game could begin.

Annan scored next with tries from Bradley James and then Aaron Kirkup. Both converted by fly-half Fraser McMillan.

The second half continued in the same competitive manner with Ambleside scoring and converting twice more.

Scrum half Keith Hogg scored once again for Annan to make the full time score Ambleside Centurions 21 – Annan 19.
