Edinburgh Accies turn on the style as Currie Chieftans maintain title challenge
Accies opened their account with a penalty try and by half time were 28-5 ahead through touchdowns by Ben Appleson, Jamie Sole and Robbie Kent, all converted by Jamie Loomes, who also added the extras to a second half score by home skipper Ruari Campbell that completed the victory.
The result leaves Accies fourth in the table, two places behind Currie Chieftains, who maintained their title challenge with a hard-fought 14-13 win away to previously undefeated Glasgow Hawks.
