Ayr win Scottish Rugby Cup
PUMA team Ayr take the trophy
Melrose 23 Ayr 36
On their first visit to Scottish Hydro Cup Finals Day Ayr kept alive their hopes of a glorious league and cup double alive with a mightily convincing five tries to two victory over Melrose. Fittingly the triumph was secured by two young home-grown players, wingers Cameron Taylor and Andrew Wilson, with cracking tries in the final ten minutes.
Ayr's coach Kenny Murray said: "The boys showed true grit and I'm really proud of them. Up to the last two scores I thought it could have gone either way but we took our chances, pressed on and got the tries."
