But the Baa-Baas hit back in the 25th minute when Andrea Lo Cicero charged over and David Humphreys converted.

Paterson put the home side ahead at the interval with a penalty.

The home team stretched their lead when Dougie Hall scored a brilliant try in the 66th minute with Paterson once again converting.
