Despite scoring six tries, Howe of Fife 1st XV lost out by three points to Hillhead Jordanhill in their National League Division Three match at Duffus Park on Saturday.

In an entertaining game, filled with lots of attacking rugby, the visitors eventually came out on top, recording a narrow 41-38 win.

The try scorers for Howe were Greg Fearson, Finlay Foulkes and Chris McNab all scoring two each, with Ian Aitken converting four of them.
