older five members of the Bronco Senior Squad to take on the Lanarkshire Steelers @ Inchyra Park.

but the Lanarkshire side did manage to draw level by half-time (13-13).
In the second-half the Broncos started with possession and used it effectively to take the lead on
another two occasions and wisely to run down the clock in the last few seconds.
Final Score ... 26-19 to the Broncos.
The Bronco Seniors are now four games unbeaten in the 2005 SFFA League and sit proudly at the top.
