Head coach Rhodri Thomas praised his side as they extended their winning run to six games with victory over Perthshire on Saturday.
Thomas’ side battled to a 17-14 win over Perthshire, who had beaten the Neilson Park men earlier in the season.
And the Welshman was pleased to see the Reds win again in tough conditions.
Thomas said: “I was really pleased with our performance against an experienced Perthshire team.
“They had beaten us earlier in the season and we were determined to get a positive result.”
Stand-off Gareth Pritchard was instrumental to the Haddington win, adding a try to two penalties and a conversion.
The ever-present South African benefited from quick ball by the Reds pack to step past two defenders and dive over.
Michael Dunlop also went over for the county side – his first try since joining the club just before Christmas – with the prop taking advantage of good work by the pack.
They drove up to the line, and Dunlop was on hand to power over.
Dunlop’s try, added to five points from the boot of Pritchard, was not enough for a half-time lead.
Perthshire had gone over for a try of their own in the first half, and kicked a pair of penalties to lead 11-10 at the break.
The visitors were in contention for victory before Pritchard’s try and some resolute defending secured victory for the Reds.
Harry Hamilton was in superb form in the second row, while Kris Paterson was once more impressive for the Reds with his work at the breakdown.
Thomas was keen to praise his side’s “excellent” work in defence. He said: “Our defence was excellent throughout the match, which frustrated Perthshire and played a big part in the final outcome.
“We’re very happy to continue our winning run and are looking forward to the challenge of the trip to Orkney next weekend.”
The 1st XV will take a break for a week before they travel to Orkney on February 13.
