"Should Earlston qualify for the fourth round tie there’ll no doubt be some quiet satisfaction for former Scotland and British Lions coach Jim Telfer.

Scott Renwick from Earlston’s PE staff explained: “Most of our team are also playing club rugby at Melrose Wasps. They’ve put together some good results there, where they’re coached by former Melrose players like Robbie Brown, Gel Tait and David Shiel. Jim Telfer’s also been working with them and he’s definitely helped in building up their belief.”

Renwick described his side’s approach as “pretty forward dominated” but also praised the contributions of the Jackson brothers, Arran at full-back and Craig at centre"

If Earlston beat Hillhead/Jordonhill then Ruaridh's cousins will be lining up against High School at Old Anniesland.
Former Hawks captain Iain Leighton now on the staff at Kelvinside Academy was`also a product of Earlston HS
