The Scots were outstanding after the break and produced some exciting, flowing rugby league against a very strong and physical Army side. Outstanding for the Scots was Napier University fullback Nick Broere, producing the hit of the game on the powerful Army prop forward, who had broken the Scottish line, to dislodge the ball.
Full internationalist Dave Lynn of Napier University was among the try-scorers, as was Stanningley prop Andy Wormald. Scotland were coached by Chris Chamberlain and Mark Webster.
At full time the Students were understandably delighted with the result and now turn their attention to their next fixture against the Prison Service on 30 April at Castleford RUFC, Kick Off 7.30pm.
