Convincing win against a spirited Ross Sutherland team

The opening match of the season meant a long journey up to Invergordon to play a X-Conference match against Ross Sutherland, both teams only had 15 players so it was going to hard going on very hot day.

Although we made a promising start it was Ross Sutherland who opened the scoring when they scored a try out wide after 2 minutes. We gradually started to dominate the game and didn't have to wait long for our first try as Sebastian Aitken scored after 7 minutes, there was also tries for Finlay MacLean and a debut try from Dexter Meachen to close off the first period with a 19-5 lead.

The 2nd period was one way traffic with Granite City scoring 6 unanswered tries and becoming increasingly more dominant in all aspects of the game with Sebastian Aitken scoring another 3 tries along with tries for Leo Peerless, Johnny Cadden and a second of the match for Dexter Meachen taking the score to 59-5. As the margin was over 50 points it meant the final period would be played as a development match with players moving between teams to even the contest.
