Post match comment from Iain Paxton:(Scotland under 21 Coach and`former coach to Boroughmuir)-courtesy of Boroughmuir website

How did Boroughmuir lose that game after fighting back to lead?

“They probably did a couple of things in defence that they shouldn’t. They should have been getting rid of the ball instead of trying to play in their own twenty-two.”

They did show good character to make a game of it though

“I though they played exceptionally well. The end result isn’t a true reflection of the game. They were hard done by with some of the penalties given against them, it was hard to understand what the call was. There were twelve points there that were quite difficult to take. But they did show good character to get into the lead.”

Is there an element that Hawks have simply forgotten how to lose?
“They’re used to winning, there’s no doubt about that. I didn’t think they were that fantastic, but they’ve come out with thirty three points. They certainly seem to have things going in their favour. It’s the old adage that when things are going well you make your own luck and it’s going that way for them at the moment.”
