Bannockburn played a ferocious game against Stirling High last Wednesday, beating the bigger school 21-17 to advance to the Central Schools Bowl Final next week. The Bannockburn pack played with great aggression, highlighted in particular by Kieran Penny and Stephen McDuff winning rucks and making covering tackles all over the field. Tries were scored by Scott Headley, who was soon taken off injured, Andrew Kimmitt and Kyle Dalziel, with three conversions by Robert Kimmitt. Men of the Match were Steven Watt, for his destructive runs and David Heggie, who stepped up from full-back to fill in at stand-off for the injured Scott. It was also announced that Karl Duffey had been voted Player of the Year. The school also played a very tough, determined defensive game against Central Schools’ Cup tournament favourites Alva Academy on Wednesday 19th, ultimately losing the game 52-0. The scoreline does not reflect the fierce level of performance the boys put in against one of the best teams in the country, a performance exemplified by the likes of Ross Cowie using his speed to thwart brawny Alva attacks, James O'Hare using his power to great effect and new player Fraser Anderson winning Man of the Match for some devastating tackles out on the wing.

Bannockburn High's return to rugby continued last night in a three way tournament at Denny High School. The first of the two shortened games the boys played was against Denny, where Bannockburn beat the hosts 5-0. The try was scored by wing Stuart Hall who was also named man of the match.
The next game was a close encounter against Graeme High, where the boys showed their improved skill levels by adopting a tactical kicking game, but unfortunately lost 5-0. Man of the match here was full-back Scott Headley.
Throughout the two games Bannockburn were highly impressive in tackling and direct running and should take pride from their physical and confident style of play. Man of the Day was Callum Cameron, who played very well in his first outing as fly-half.

Rugby - Bannockburn High's Senior Rugby team played their first game in several years last Monday when they took on the visiting Stirling High. The boys played exceptionally well against a large, well drilled Stirling team and can take lots of pride in their effort and tackling, especially since many of the squad were making their rugby debuts. The final score was eventually 44-10 to Stirling, with Bannockburn tries scored by Andrew Kimmitt and Robert Kimmitt. Man of the match went to Karl Duffy.
