Phil Burleigh’s late try helped Edinburgh complete the double over Glasgow Warriors and retain the 1872 Cup with a 14-11 GUINNESS PRO12 win at BT Murrayfield.

The game was due to be played at Scotstoun, but because of the recent storm in Glasgow the teams met for the second time in succession at the national stadium, and just as they had a week ago, Edinburgh came out on top.

Unlike the first game though, it was a very tough encounter, with Glasgow leading going into the last ten minutes and going through an incredible 26 phases at the death only to be thwarted by the Edinburgh defence.

Mark Bennett’s try on the half-hour had given Glasgow an 8-6 half-time lead, and after Duncan Weir and Sam Hidalgo-Clyne exchanged penalties, the GUINNESS PRO12 champions led 11-9 heading into the final stages.

But after a long period of pressure, Burleigh was allowed to run laterally before forcing his way over for the crucial score six minutes from time.

And while Glasgow had their chances at the death, they eventually saw a ball swallowed up in a maul and missed out on the win.

Glasgow started the better and led after just five minutes thanks to fly-half Weir, as Edinburgh infringed while defending a lineout on their line.

However a couple of breakdown penalties gave Hidalgo-Clyne the chance to put his team in front and he made no mistake on either to leave the visitors 6-3 up.

Glasgow finally broke through with half an hour gone, Bennett the beneficiary after some patient build-up work from the Warriors pack.

That was how it remained until the break, with Weir missing the conversion, as well as kicking a penalty dead in goal after turning down three points.

He made up for it 15 minutes into the second half when he slotted a second penalty of the afternoon, with Hidalgo-Clyne having missed one five minutes earlier.

Hidalgo-Clyne was back on target with 11 minutes left to make it a two-point game, before Burleigh scored the crucial try.

And even though Glasgow had their chances, Edinburgh held on, to make it three wins on the spin against their closest rivals.
