In the first half the visitors' centre David Cassidy banged over five penalties out of five to give his side a 15-11 lead.
Yet it began very promising with West registering a touch down in just the sixth minute, good handling by Kyle Matheson, Elliott McLaren and Richard Dalgleish sending left winger Calum McKenzie over.
