Local clubs Musselburgh, Murrayfield Wanderers and RHC Cougars all ran in 50 or more points on a high scoring Saturday in RBS National One.

The leaders Musselburgh won their 17th league match of the season with a 50-16 home defeat of Langholm. The win keeps the East Lothian men one point ahead of Hawick Linden who saw off Garnock 39-7.
