It was pack muscle that ruled the roost, with the Bulls forwards leading the charge to a 30-8 win.Speaking at final whistle, head coach Peter Murchie admitted that a bonus-point wasn’t on his mind at half time, with the game neck-in-neck at 10-8: “We didn’t play as well as we liked in the first half… In the second I thought we were excellent in terms of the way we approached the game.“We had a lot more intensity to us”.As a whole, Peter was delighted with the style in which his men secured victory: “There was some excellent bits of play. A few tip-ons from the forwards and offloads from the backs.“It was quite difficult handling conditions, so I am obviously pleased with the skill level”.Once the Bulls found their feet it looked like nothing would stop them – not even a local power-outage in Alloway which saw the game plunged into darkness at half-time. Thankfully, the floodlights flickered back on just as the last of the daylight shimmered away.The Bulls scores came through Blair Macpherson, Ollie Smith and a Sam Kitchen brace. Ross Thompson Added the extras from the kicking tee.The Bulls now welcome Watsonians to Millbrae this Saturday in a rearranged fixture from the match called-off a few weeks ago. The action gets underway at 15.00.
