Rugby: Free-scoring Portobello on a mission as Trinity suffer

Portobello have scored over 100 points in their last two outings after a 50-0 thumping away win at Trinity Accies on Saturday kept them top of East One.

The men from Cavalry Park were pipped to the title last season and seem determined to make sure it does not happen again after their fourth win.

Duns are also unbeaten after Saturday's comfortable 36-11 win over Dalkeith and this coming weekend something will have to give when the two top teams meet in Edinburgh.
