Your scribe has recently been billeted in the High Veldt where he has fallen into company with several of an Anniesland pedigree This earnest bunch of fellows reach for their laptops of a weekend to check on Hawks progress

There are old Old Annieslanders old New Annieslanders and old Balgrayans a star studded lineup from yesteryear

From the Crow Rd end Kenny Fraser,Moshie Morrison who played for Old Eds the same club as Ronnie Low--Al(who once played aginst Leicester at Welford Rd )Robertson from Helensburgh Drive James (Jimmie when he left Glasgow ) Anderson who played alongside Brian Simmmers and W C Cluggie Anderson and last but not least from Balgray Roy Macalpine and Alastair Lang.

One of their meeting places is of course the Wanderers Club Jo-Burg where Hawks triumphed in their unbeaten tour of 2003

Your scribe then went on the cradle of Bok rugby Stellenbosch University who have an impressive stadium a bit drier than Anniesland
