Boroughmuir's young guns led the way as they got themselves off bottom spot with a win over Stirling County at Meggetland yesterday.
The Edinburgh side went into the match on the back of three defeats, and captain Andy Rose was out with a rib injury.
But young players like Robin Hislop, George Turner, Alex Henderson, Jamie Swanson and Keith Buchan put in good performances as they beat the Bridgehaugh men 28-15.
The home side were 11-0 up before County got on the board just after half an hour when stand-off Stuart Edwards kicked a penalty, but the best play of the half came in the 38th minute.
Muir attacked from their own half and hooker George Turner got the converted try on his home debut.
After the break the home side went further ahead at 21-3. Two County tries in the last few minutes were too little too late as a penalty try for Boroughmuir sealed the win.
Bottom now are Aberdeen Grammar who went down 34-25 to Melrose in a thriller at Rubislaw.
Tries for Melrose through Grant Runciman and Greg White sent the points back to the Greenyards.
Leaders Ayr remained unbeaten, but were pushed all the way by plucky Heriot's at Millbrae.
Tries for the hosts in the 17-13 win came from hooker Hayden Wisneski, second-row Scott Sutherland and stand-off Ross Curle.
Scrum-half Peter Jericevich added a conversion as the Edinburgh men just fell short.
Gala are still second after a 37-20 win at Currie.
Brothers George and Gary Graham both scored tries for the visitors, a penalty try was also awarded and stand-off Lee Millar kicked 22 points. Currie's points came from a Ross Weston try and Jamie Forbes' boot.
Edinburgh Accies are fifth after a 40-17 win over Dundee HSFP. Captain Dan Teague took two tries at Raeburn Place as they got their second victory in as many weeks.
