When Duncan Weir arrived at Hawks from Cambuslang he brought some pace but he was not the first from Coats Park to be endowed with that rare quality

With the arrival of Thom Evans on the track at Kelvin Hall it is worth reflecting  on some rugby playing sprinters
Well known are Eric Liddell ,Ming Campbell and Brian Whittle but there was also  Les Piggot

Les played for Cambuslang alongside an Old ANNIESLAND luminary Jimmy Currie
However it was on the track that he made his mark competing at two Olympics Mexico and Munich in the sprints
With best times of 10.3 and 20.8 Thom has a fair target to aim for
