The popular holiday fixture had a party atmosphere in the pre-match packed clubhouse.
The bragging rights were at stake as club captain John Picken, with the over-30s, took on his dad, club president Jim Picken’s under-30s select, which included younger son Andrew.
The conditions outside were the worst possible with a strong wind and heavy rain on a sodden pitch making for a battle to stay warm in the conditions.
Playing into the wind Andrew Wilson sped in for the first try in only eight minutes for the Whites over-30s. John Picken added the points.
Try number two arrived after 22 minutes with the White forwards driving Mick McCulloch over. John Picken again added the points.
Twenty five minutes and the Blacks were back in the game with TJ McCarney waltzing his way over for a try. Andrew Picken missed the kick.
Archie Nicholson closed the gap further with a second try for the Blacks, which this time Andrew Picken converted.
The Blacks, with the wind advantage, saw a high kick ahead chased down by prop Fraser Potts to put them ahead just before half-time – the under-30s taking a 19-14 lead thanks to Andrew Picken’s conversion.
The second half started with a bang with Stewartry’s leading try scorer Stevie Hogg breaking clear in the second minute to score.
John Picken added his third conversion to put the Whites 21-19 ahead in this entertaining game.
Archie Nicholson was in for a second try in 45 minutes and while Andrew Picken’s conversion was missed, the Blacks were 21-24 in front.
With the strong wind behind them the Whites were putting the pressure on and a charging Michael Yates put Andrew Picken on his backside as he set up Iain McMorran for what was the winning score.

What at first appears a rather obvious send-up of self-help culture turns into a take-no-prisoners assault on narrative expectations and norms, all the while painting a pointed portrait of a truly complicated protagonist, the kind of character whose motivations and intentions are so slippery, you can barely make up your mind about her before she gives you a reason to change it again.
