00:00Hello, it's Graham Bean at Murrayfield where Edinburgh have just beaten Glasgow 10-7 in

00:07the second leg of the 1872 Cup. It was an attritional match, not too much in the way

00:13of fluid rugby, but Edinburgh defended very well and just about worth their win. An important

00:20result for Edinburgh who'd lost heavily in the first leg at Hamden last Sunday, Glasgow

00:25winning that one, 33 points to 14. Edinburgh have been criticised for the way they performed

00:32at Hamden, but they bounced back well. There was a record crowd inside Murrayfield tonight,

00:38over 40,000, a record for an Edinburgh home game and a record for this fixture. They had

00:45to wait almost 70 minutes to see a try though. Edinburgh led 3-0 at half-time through a Ross

00:51Thompson penalty. Glasgow came more into it in the second half, put Edinburgh under a

00:56lot of pressure and eventually they were awarded a penalty try in the 60th minute. Edinburgh

01:02had been warned and Paddy Harrison was shown the yellow card. But Edinburgh bounced back

01:07very impressively and went straight up from the restart and Piers Schumann scored the

01:12decisive try, plunging over from close range after starting the move with a nice little

01:17rubber. Ben Healy converted that and there was no more scoring, so Edinburgh won the

01:23game 10-7. Glasgow retained the 1872 Cup. They won on aggregate by 40 points to 24,

01:32were presented with the trophy at the end and looked a little glum face as they lifted

01:35it. That's the URC now reached its halfway point and Glasgow remain nicely positioned

01:43in second place. There's now a little mini break before both teams play European matches

01:49in January. Final score at Murrayfield, Edinburgh 10, Glasgow Warriors 7.
