| GLASGOW HAWKS v JED-FOREST: 29 SEPTEMBER, 2012 National League Rugby: Hawks maintain their perfect start Published: 01 October 2012 GLASGOW Hawks scrum-half Haddon MacPherson and winger Tony Herron both scored two tries apiece to help their side beat Jed-Forest 51-14 and make it a perfect six wins out of six – cementing their place at the top of the RBS National League. As well as the four tries for MacPherson and Herron, Steven Findlay, Callum Kerr and Tom Steven went over for tries while Mike Adamson was again on form with the boot. Things didn't get much better for Jed in the second half when Hawks opened the scoring after only 4 minutes, left wing Tom Steven breaking through several tackles to score a sixth try. Hawks then made several changes to their line up which allowed Jed into the game, with the wind at their backs. Their fly half, Ewan Scott, managed to elude the cover defence on the Hawks line in the 47th and 60th minutes, both scores being converted by Iain Chisholm. However, Tony Herron soon outpaced the stretched Jed-Forest defence for Hawks’ seventh try and his own second, with Mike Adamson successfully converting. Hawks had the final say in the game when replacement hooker, Callum Kerr, showed typical determination to touch down on the 78th minute mark, leaving the final score: Glasgow Hawks 51 Jed-forest 14. Glasgow Hawks: 15. Mike Adamson 14. Tom Steven 13. Tom Preece 12. David Milne 11. Tony Herron 10. Andy White 9. Haddon McPherson 1. Steven Findlay 2. Jack McFarlane 3. Chris Barnes 4.
