Then it was the turn of Glasgow B who the Falcons put to flight with a landslide 34 to 0 With Darren Sharp getting the MVP in this one .

The home team Inverness were up next and a fantastic hard hitting winner takes all battle commenced with Angus McKintosh scoring first then Clyde Valley through McCrum levelling the score .

It went on to finish with the Falcons unable to score on the last play finishing on the Inverness 7 yard line .The final score was Inverness 18 to Falcons 12.
