Livingston unscathed after seeing off feisty Cougars
Livingston kept up their unbeaten season on Saturday, but were made to battle all the way as they saw off RHC Cougars 30-27 in RBS East One.
The West Lothian side travelled to the Capital having recorded 12 league wins and six RBS East Regional Shield wins so far this term.
And they eventually came through this one against their title rivals to make it 19 Games unbeaten after another cracking advert for regional league rugby.
Jason Watt led the way for Livingston with two tries while John Bruton, Ross Neil and Aaron Johnston also crossed for tries and Craig Bolan kicked five points as they secured the bonus point.
The victory leaves them five points clear of Preston Lodge and 14 points ahead of RHC Cougars and now need only 10 more points to secure the title.On top of that Livi are now only 2 games from a potential return to Murrayfield for the national Shield Final ,firstly they meet RHC Cougars again in the Edinburgh Shield Final on the 16th March and if victorious would play a home semi final against the winners of the borders shield.
Livi's resurgence is not just exclusive to the First XV the second team are on course for securing their League after a hard fought 24-5 victory over Murrayfield Wanderers and the U/18 are League Champions as well , all in all a fantastic turnaround in fortunes for the Almond Park Club.
