Glasgow made a bright start to the game with second row Ben Docherty going over the line from a driving maul. Fly half, Euan Mckean, then converted to make it 7 – 0 Glasgow. It wasn't long before Glasgow scored again with hooker Blair Couper going over in the corner following a chip from inside centre Andrew Warnock. Ben Docherty then scored from another driving maul just before half time to make it 17 – 0 Glasgow. Glasgow started the second half strong with substitute Tony Boyd collecting a dropped ball and running half the pitch to score under the posts. Hawks then scored a penalty try following repeated penalties at the breakdown from Glasgow. Scrum half Murray Houston finished off the scoring with a snipe of the back of a ruck to score under the posts. Euan Mckean then converted to make the final score 29 – 7 to Glasgow. Special mention to number 8 Adam De Ste Croix for receiving a yellow and Euan Mckean for bottling a kick in from of the posts.

The match was part of our partnership launch with Glasgow Hawks RFC and we hope this brings a huge amount of benefits to both parties and it continues long into the future.
