Melrose chalked up another big score as they retained their position at the top of the BT Premiership table with an impressive bonus point win against Gala at Netherdale 43-27. That brings the maximum 20 points up for them but they needed it as second placed Ayr defeated luckless Hawick 43-28 at Mansfield Park to give them 19.
