Highland defeated in National League Cup final

Highland 10

Aberdeen Grammar 26

Highland failed to pull off an upset in the National League Cup final when they were defeated by Aberdeen Grammar.

It was a promising start for the Inverness men as Highland took a 10-0 lead through a Rory Carson penalty and a Callum Carson converted try.

But Aberdeen Grammar came storming back as two converted tries gave them a 14-10 lead at half time.

Calum Macpherson was sent to the sin bin as Highland were temporarily reduced to 14 men and Grammar took advantage as they went ahead 21-10 after a five metre scrum.

Aberdeen Grammar put the game beyond doubt with a late uncoverted try to take the trophy.
