STATEMENT FROM THE CHAMPIONSHIP COMMITEE: Glasgow Hawks v Hawick


Premier 1 representative on the championship committee, Gordon Cairns, said: “It’s crucial to the integrity of Scotland’s top domestic division that matches are fulfilled as scheduled.
 
“Hawick have failed to justify ‘just cause’ for the non-fulfillment of their Premier 1 fixture against Glasgow Hawks on Saturday (2 April) and so, in accordance with Regulation 6, have been penalised five championship points and fined £525 which will subtracted from the financial contributions made to the club from Scottish Rugby next season and paid to Glasgow Hawks to cover the expenses they incurred.”
 
The match has been rescheduled to Tuesday 12 April at Old Anniesland (kick-off, 7.30pm).
 
Hawick have the right to appeal this decision within seven days of receipt of this notification.
