Whitecraigs made it to the final of the RBS West Cup on try count over Glasgow Hawks after a tense and feisty 29-29 draw at Old Anniesland.


The sides were locked at 26-26 after 80 minutes, and the stalemate persisted after 20 additional minutes, meaning the visitors progressed by virtue of having scored four tries to three.

Winger Kerr Grossman notched a double for Hawks, Tom Steven getting their third try but touchdowns by Ben Blamire, Steven Whittet, Hamish Hunter and Ally Stevenson ensured it was the lower division side who went trhrough after extra time.

John Willis led the Ayr try charge as they snuffed out the brave challenge of Dumfries 31-6 at Park Farm. Cammy Taylor, Pa Thomson and Andy Wilson also broke through for the visitors, Wilson adding three conversions. Tom Hiddleston found the target twice for the hosts.
