Kirkaldy and Ellon will be celebrating this evening after both sides recorded Cup Final victories in the BT Cellnet Shield and Bowl respectively.

Premier Division Kirkcaldy were given a tough test by Stewartry in the BT Cellnet Shield final despite romping into a 15-0 in just 15 minutes.

Stewartry, trailing 20-7 at the interval, turned on the pressure after the break and only late scores gave the scoreline a slightly unbalanced appearance.

The more experienced Fifers went ahead in the third minute with a Mike McKenzie penalty and when Stewartry's George Wallace skewed a penalty chance wide prop Richard Higgins responded by crashing over from close range.

Stewartry lock Kerr McMinn was then tackled and spilled the ball and McKenzie sprinted over for Robbie Gilmour to convert and take Kirkcaldy into a 15-0 lead.

A Wallace penalty to the corner and a great take by Richard Callander allowed hooker Jim Dunlop to pull a try back for Stewartry and Wallace to converted but Kirkcaldy had the last word in the half when Richard Bethune put wing Cameron Goodall in for the try to give them a 20-7 half-time lead.

It was not until the beginning of the final quarter that Kirkcaldy managed to pull further away, having survived a sustained Stewartry siege to take play to the other end where David Jessiman went over after pressure on the Stewartry line.

Then came Stewartry's best spell leading to a well-deserved try by Kerr McMinn but further tries by Jessiman and, in injury time, Chris Milne - both converted by Gilmour - eventually gave Kircaldy a slightly flattering but very hard-earned win.

Skipper Neil Hendry was the toast of Ellon after his two late tries clinched the BT Cellnet Bowl for his side.

They were not spectacular long-range solo efforts, but the products of well controlled line-out drives with each member of the Ellon pack playing his part.

Despite Hawick Harlequins' swarming defence, they had no answer as the massive Hendry and his pack team-mates edged forward and over the line for touch-downs in the 77th and 81st minutes.

It was appropriate that Ellon's tries came from line-outs since they had dominated at the throw-ins throughout.

Quins had a clear edge in the scrums however, and the game was finely balanced at 6-6 until only five minutes from the end.

Hawick could have been comfortably ahead at half-time if they had kicked their goals, but Allan Chalmers and Gary Murdie missed five penalty chances between them.

The only score before the break was a Kerry Williams penalty.

Just after the restart Murdie finally slotted a kick to equalise, and he repeated the dose after Williams had again put Ellon in front.

One man missing from the Ellon celebrations was hooker Steven Park. He was substituted at half-time so that he could race to a waiting helicopter which whisked him back to Aberdeen where he was the best man at the wedding of his brother Moray.

Ellon coach Alex Duncan said: "I'm delighted for the players; they're a great bunch of boys who have played good rugby all season. The game produced a very high standard of rugby."
