Rugby: Northern on song to keep East Three title in firm focus

Edinburgh Northern put in a strong first half performance on Saturday against Inverleith to keep themselves on track to win the RBS East Three title.

In the same division Leith bounced back from the aforementioned loss to Northern with a 17-7 home win over St Boswells to keep themselves in the mix, while RDVC defeated Queensferry 57-26 and Liberton went down 67-12 at Walkerburn.

There was only one match in RBS East One on Saturday, North Berwick beating Lismore 42-7 to finish fifth and last respectively.

In RBS East Two at the weekend Penicuik ended their own league season with a 33-12 home victory over Gala YM while Dalkeith were on the end of a 37-12 loss to Earlston.
