Rugby: Wanderers hang on for crucial victory as Langholm fail with last kick

Murrayfield Wanderers' match against Langholm in National One went right down to the wire with the Capital side clinging on for a vital win.

Following tries by John Lyons, Nigel Barker and Peter Walker, Wanderers were leading 25-19 going into the final stages. With the last play of the game the Borderers scored a try, but they could not convert and the hosts won 25-24.

It was their second win of the season and puts them tenth in the table.

Meanwhile, a depleted Lasswade had to dig deep to see off Livingston at Hawthornden.
