Kaylee Fraser proved the hero of the hour, claiming a dramatic last second try to see Edinburgh take the Scottish derby day spoils 22-17 at Scotstoun Stadium.
With the clock in the red Fraser crashed over from close range to give the capital side a deserved win, ending the season on a high by completing a double over Glasgow Warriors.
Edinburgh struck early through captain Hannah Walker after being put into the corner by Nicole Marlow and Bethan Mathieson. 0-5
Mathieson went from provider to scorer, dotting down in the corner for her second try is as many games. Cat Moody was the architect, breaking through from half-way to put Edinburgh on the front foot. With the Warriors scrambling, the capital side pulled the trigger to go wide to the onrushing Mathieson. 0-10
The try saw Edinburgh run into a deserved half-time lead, but the Warriors struck back early in the second half, with Sophie Murphy bundling over after the restart. 7-10
Despite the pressure from the hosts, Edinburgh managed an almost immediate reply, with the dominant Cat Moody powering over straight from the base of a scrum. 7-17
Glasgow weren’t going away, however, and hit back with a try from Millie Warren despite a suspicion of a forward pass in the build up. Warren then levelled the scores with a long-range penalty, setting up a tense finish. 17-17
Despite having their lead cut away, Edinburgh showed their composure and finished the game on the front foot. Hannah Ramsay pulled the strings to cap off a player of the match display, orchestrating a series of ferocious attacks that ultimately culminated with Fraser smashing her way over the line with the last carry of the game. 17-22
