Bad start for Haddington is costly
Haddington lost 48-13 at home to Premier 1 opponents Edinburgh Accies on Saturday in a Regional Cup tie.
The Reds secured the initial kick off and indeed went through several good phases retaining ball and making ground.
However, a turnover for the visitors saw ball moved swiftly through the hands for the opening try which was converted after little more than a minute.
Ten minutes later the Reds were made to pay again as poor execution of the right tactics led to turnover ball again, which the visitors were quick to expolit and add a second converted try.
As half-time loomed, Accies kicked ball deep into the Reds 22 and, stealing the line-out ball, were able to drive over in the corner for an unconverted try to make it 19-0 for Accies.
