Shire struggled to adapt to the tackle height laws and were eventually defeated in the capital
Perthshire watched a considerable lead slip - and received four yellow cards - in Saturday afternoon’s National League 4 opener.
But soon the Perth men hit back. After a maul was formed, a couple of quick and direct phases by the forwards allowed newly-appointed vice-captain Simon McGarry to burrow over the line. Calum Bruce added the two points. It did not take long for Graham Smith’s side to make the extra man count. First, Shaun Barton made a barnstorming carry through the middle.
Bruce returned to the pitch then, a few minutes later, Jack McIntosh came on for Murrie as his 10 minute suspension ended.This was short-lived as Twaddell was soon walking off courtesy of a yellow card for a “seat-belt” tackle. The capital club now led 28-21 but the men in black and white were restored to their full complement of 15 players.
