HOLDERS HAWKS FACE TOUGH CUP TIE
Posted: 20/Feb/08
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holders Glasgow Hawks face a testing trip to fellow Premiership 1 side Melrose in the fifth round draw of the Scottish Hydro Electric Cup, which was made at Murrayfield today.
The draw, made by former Scotland hooker Kevin McKenzie and the SRU's Head of Community Rugby Colin Thomson, also features a number of intriguing local derbies: Boroughmuir v Edinburgh Accies in the Capital is a repeat of last season s semi-final; Kelso v Gala in the Borders; and an all-Dundee clash between Dundee HSFP and Morgan Academy FP.
Hawks have played Melrose twice this season in Scottish Hydro Electric Premiership Division 1, winning at home and losing at the Greenyards.
McKenzie s own club, National League Division 1 Falkirk, who accounted for Premiership opponents Hillhead/Jordanhill in the fourth round, have a home tie against Selkirk in round five.
McKenzie and Thomson also made the draws for the Scottish Hydro Electric Shield, Scottish Hydro Electric Bowl and Scottish Hydro Electric Plate competitions.
