Elsewhere, Edinburgh Harlequins went down 69-12 to Stirling County in the Under-18 girls final.

Sky Phimister and Karly Conn did touch down for the Capital side on a tough afternoon.

However, Harlequins – representing a youth programme set up two years ago by Lismore in the city’s south east – deserve credit for the progress they have made.
