Welcome to all Hawks Junior Rugby players and supporters for our last home match of the season against Ayr. Last Saturday saw the whole squad put in a great performance against our local rivals West of Scotland, the players put in a tremendous amount of effort and they were all rewarded with their 42 – 17 victory. Please get behind the players and cheer them onto a victory at Old Anniesland today.
Today we have a demonstration mini rugby game between Glasgow Accies and GHK mini rugby clubs. The primary 7’s will be playing on the main pitch from 14:20 – 14:40, please take time to watch this and see some stars of the future. Today we are also joined by The Glasgow Academy 1st team squad and coaches, I hope you enjoy the game boys. Tomorrow will see both Glasgow Accies and GHK mini rugby clubs have their Christmas party, we will be sending some of the Hawks squad along so that they can enjoy their day.
The Glasgow Hawks community programme has just finished a 5 week programme of tag rugby coaching in the 5 schools that feed into the St Thomas Aquinas learning community, starting in January we will be working in 6 schools that feed into the Knightswood learning community. All this work would not be possible without the help from Louise Keating and Andy Young who are the Active School Coordinators for these areas. We are hopefully that both Andy and Louise will be down at the game today.
Today’s Hawks community player profile is back row forward Grant Strang, grant has been a regular in the back row for Hawks in the last few season and his consistent performances have seen him been named in the Scotland Club International training squad.
Anyone that would like information on Midi (U’13 to U’16), Youth (U’17 and U’18) and Development XV (U’20) rugby at Glasgow Hawks please don’t hesitate to contact me on either 07825 181 041 or at [email protected].
