The award was given for his score for Melrose against Ayr in the RBS Cup final on Saturday April 20 at Murrayfield. Fraser touched down in the 85th minute of the match to bring his side level in a very tense extra-time encounter. Melrose however, lost 28-25 in the end. He told the Southern Reporter: “It’s always good to play in a Cup final at Murrayfield. We went into the match wanting to win, but unfortunately after 104 brutal minutes of rugby it wasn’t meant to be.
“It’s nice to be acknowledged as Try of the Month winner for April, but it’s disappointing we didn’t get the winners’ medal as well. However, hopefully we’ll be back next year.”
