After a disappointing 2009 campaign the "canes" took to the field to face there old adversaries with a much changed lineup.

They started strongly and despite not scoring in the 1st quarter they controlled the majority of the period.

The 2nd period came to life with Bruce Thomson and Darren Henderson connecting on a 71 yard touchdown made even sweeter by the fact Henderson beat former cane Calum Buchan for the score.

Fan favourite Mohamadou Niakate topped up the score with a huge 44 yard field goal and a 9-0 half time lead.

Canes HC Ross McPherson took the opportunity at the break to introduce several off his new signings and they showed the future of the club is in good hands by completely dominating this period with the driving rain now becoming there fiercest foe,The only score of the period saw Niakate scramble in from 5 yds to increase the lead to 15-0.

The forth and final period became a total washout and its was no surprise that neither team could score in these conditions.

Significant plus for the canes was not only the win but the fact they managed to introduce no fewer than 14 new signings to the club and rack up over 300 yards offence with there new look defence holding the visitors to just under 100.

They have further opportunity to fine tune when they wrap up there pre season campaign with a visit west to face the Glasgow Tigers on April 18th.
