Waid were missing a few 1st XV regulars but nonetheless went into the game with a full squad containing a number of youngsters and the return of a few old faces. Conditions were wet with the recent spell of good weather firmly left behind in September. Waid veteran Colin Drysdale started in the second row joining his son Allan in the team, who formed a centre partnership with Richard Bach, starting his 1st league game of the season.

Waid started in determined fashion and disrupted the early attempts of Bridgehaugh to settle. The Waid forwards went through a series of charges and established dominance over their opponents. The Waid pack rumbled forward, sucking in more and more of the Bridgehaugh defence, and when within distance, Eric Anderson pounced and scored the try. Bridgehaugh restarted and kicked to the Waid forwards who charged into the visitors pack. Ground was made into the visitors half. Waid opted for an attacking scrum and number 8 Eric Anderson picked up and went for the line. He was stopped short but the ball was recycled and Colin Drysdale drove towards the line. He was stopped short but Anderson was on hand to spot the gap and dive over for the try in the corner. Lindsay couldn't convert but Waid now led 12-0. Further Waid pressure resulted in Bridgehaugh going off their feet at the ruck and a penalty was awarded. Lindsay made no mistake from 30 yards to extend Waid's lead to 15-0. Bridgehaugh rallied and forced Waid into their half and on the defensive. As the visitors threatened to score for the first time, the ball was spun through the backs and Allan Drysdale intercepted the pass between the centres to race half the length of the park to score under the posts. Lindsay slotted the conversion which gave Waid a 22-0 half-time lead. This was no more than Waid deserved as they had dominated all aspects of the game. The only blot in the first half was an injury to scrum half Stephen Denny who had to leave the field early with a suspected broken nose after a clash.

Waid started the second half seeking the fourth try to secure the bonus point and although they squandered a couple of early chances, they didn't have long to wait before Graham Gourlay found his way to the try line with a powerful run and fine individual try. The conversion was missed but with a 27-0 lead, Waid had the game won but had to ensure they kept focus and protect their try line. Lindsay was orchestrating his back line and both Drysdale and Bach came close to adding to Waid's try tally, however it was Anderson who grabbed his hat-trick after another close range pick and go from the base of a ruck. Lindsay converted to give Waid a 34-0 lead.

Waid put the pressure on Bridgehaugh, who continued to struggle in the scrums and lineouts, and found difficulty in clearing the danger. Bach came close to scoring but was tackled well. Eric Anderson was in support and showing predatory instincts collected the ball and powered over for his fourth try of the day. Lindsay narrowly missed the conversion but Waid had a commanding 39-0 lead, which proved to be the final score.

In the closing stages Bridgehaugh advanced forward and with a penalty against Waid, they kicked for touch and secured their lineout and surged for the line. The ball was held up and an attacking scrum was awarded for the last play. They won good ball and it took a big tackle from full-back John Murray to stop them from scoring a consolation try. Waid turned over possession and kicked the ball dead to bring the game to a conclusion.

Man of the match was given to Waid fly-half Paul Lindsay who controlled and dictated the tempo throughout the game. It was a welcome return for the Kiwi who has been plagued by an ankle injury but he made it through unscathed. Afterwards Waid Captain Kevin Anderson said, "I couldn't have asked for any more from the lads today. Our set play worked well and we kept control and discipline throughout. The youngsters who came off the bench today to cover for the injured players were immense and they will only get better with more game time. We didn't know what to expect from Bridgehaugh but we got the bonus point victory which was crucial as we move towards next week's game with Panmure. Equally our defensive effort today was excellent."

Next weekend is the top of the table clash with Panmure. Kick off at Broughty Ferry is at 3pm. Training continues for the FPs on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6.30pm - 8pm.
