This promises to be a fascinating match against our friends
from the West, who have defeated Greenock Wanderers (72-0),
Berwick (84-0) and Heriot's (34-18) on their way to this
game.
While Hawks, having finished fifth in Premier 1 this season,
must be regarded as favourites as they travel to Inverleith,
remember that we beat them comprehensively in the league
fixture here
at the end of last season. Conditions on pitch 1 tomorrow
are also likely to favour the sort of running rugby that
we have struggled to impose on other teams in Premier 2
during the campaign.
The final factor working in our favour is - or should
be - the home support, who have stuck by the team during
what has been a fairly disappointing league campaign. It's
probably fair to say that Hawks are unlikely to bring a
large number of fans through to Edinburgh for the game,
so this is an ideal opportunity for the red, black and gold
faithful to pitch up in good numbers and create the kind
of atmosphere on which our players thrive.
In other words, please get yourselves along to Invers
tomorrow, make some noise then (regardless of the result)
join us in a right good p*ss up afterwards!

Notes
Someone better phone Hunter's and tell them we won't be
needing that open top bus again this year.
Horsed - for a while during the first half, it looked like
the infamous 95-3 defeat to GHK was about to be eclipsed.

Dave McCall's major contribution of the game was
getting yellowed for handbags on 55 minutes. One of
Hawks' formidable props was yellowed on 35 for some
manner of technical offence.

| Single Sentence Summary |
Roundly horsed by a formidable Weegie unit, but not
disgraced - we had them rocking in the second half,
although our unexpected tackling allergy meant that
a Cup upset was never really on the cards

| Leading Lion |
After notching a brace of tries, club stalwart Borth
conveniently gets his first ever Leading Lion award
after the game in which he notched his 500th point
for the club

Just a couple of Peronis at the fine pre-match lunch
- one must always stay compos for the tannoy
- then a bottle of house white (among many other things)
thereafter - good times, despite the result!
