Senior Rugby
1xv
Penicuik v Dunbar
Hallhill Centre, Dunbar 2pm KO
The 1xv go into their first game of 2025 on a high following the strong 32-7 over Royal High back on the 14th December. For once this season Mark Blair was able to select from an almost complete available squad.
Dunbar, however, were narrowly edged out 21-19 away to Corstorphine and will be looking to get their league campaign back on track.
This Saturday will be a massive task for a depleted Penicuik squad traveling to sunny Dunbar, a whole host of unavailabilities has limited selection, and at the time of going to press only 17 players are available.

Corstorphine and Livingston meet at Union Park battling for 2nd Place, its an Edinburgh derby as Leith go looking for a win bonus point to overtake Royal High. Hawick Harlequins make the trip to Bangholm to face bottom of the league Trinity.
