Although the grading differences were not as excessive,
it was not possible to repeat the performances of the previous round.

Round 1

Our SNCL team were missing a few of our top guns and faced last years champions in the first round.
Despite these circumstances and being outgraded on every board, the Dragons breathed fire and smoked Dundee A.
A brilliant team performance with fantastic individual results.
