TIGERS SAVAGE HAWKS
Glasgow Tigers 54 Clyde Valley Hawks 0

Glasgow Tigers romped home to their first BYAFA Championship final with a 54 point rout over former UK Champions, Clyde Valley Hawks at Cambuslang Rugby Club.

One of the key elements in the Tigers success this afternoon, as has been all season was the performance of their “Power Surge”, Iain “ Sparky” Dick, who clocked up 4 touchdowns and astonishing 245 yards rushing on the day bringing his total for the season to a total of 1188.

Following the success of the Clyde Valley’s Junior side, the Falcons in the recent Junior Championship, hopes were high that Hawks, despite having to cope with what has been an emotional roller coaster ride this season, would continue that success and return to the Youth kitted final for the first time since winning the title two years ago.

However having beaten the Hawks twice already this season, the Tigers came into the game as clear favourites to reach their first major championship berth.

And the Glasgow outfit got off the mark in the first quarter when Dick ran in his first touchdown of the day from 21 yards out, with Derek Russell successfully splitting the uprights for the conversion attempt.

The Tigers had to wait until the second period when “Sparky” powered through on another touchdown run.

The Hawks soon had a mountain to climb when receiver, Kyle Wilson got in the act of finding the endzone, connecting with a 21 yard pass from quarterback Kris Kennedy to make it 20 unanswered points for the Tigers, with Russell once again nailing the conversion attempt for a 22-0 half time lead.
