Having edged out the Tigers at Dundee’s ground earlier in the season; revenge was very much on the Glasgow side’s minds.

But the Hurricanes were operating from a different script right from the opening kick off, when Fraser Thomson blitzed through the helpless Tigers players returning the ball 85 yards for the opening touchdown, which was easily converted by Mark Craig.

Both teams immediately proceeded to tighten on their defenses but the Tigers eventually got themselves back in the game finally breaking through the Dundee rearguard midway through the first period which ended with William "Kojak" McLauchlan dumping the ball through the middle to Ally Choat for six points.

And after McLauchlan successfully split the uprights for the conversion attempt, the signs were starting to emerge that we could be on for a repeat of their last close encounter at Tayside.

The Tigers appeared to have lost their moment on their next drive when they fumbled away possession yards from the goal line on their next drive.

But following heavy pressure from the home defense, the Hurricanes were forced to punt away possession, with the ball falling into the hands of Ryan Hunter, who turned on the speed down the near side with little resistance, taking the ball in to the endzone, giving the Tiger the lead for the first time.

Things continued to look promising for the Tigers early in the second quarter when Quarterback Bruce Thomson was picked off by Rob Campbell.

But the Tiger failed to capitalise and soon found themselves in trouble on the next Dundee drive when Bruce Thomson caught the home defense off guard firing a long missile to Brother Fraser for a 65 yard completion which he took all the way to the endzone for his second touchdown, which was once again converted by Craig, giving the visitors a one point lead.

The Glasgow side’s troubles continued at the end of their next drive and another special teams breakdown, when Aberdonian receiver, Darren Henderson returned a Tigers punt, weaving his way through to record his first score in Dundee colours, taking an eight point cushion going into the break.

The Tigers game plan appeared to be heading for meltdown when Quarterback McLauchlan was picked off by Fraser Thomson, who returned the ball back to the Glasgow 20 yard line.

But the Glasgow defense turned up the pressure at the right time with the Dundee Quarterback being caught on the blind side with a crunching tackle from Robert Mann, forcing a fumble which was recovered by John Paul Broughton.

The turnover appeared to inject a fresh impetus to the Tigers offense, which moved slowly towards the Hurricanes goal line.

Only this time it was the visiting defense to turn up the heat, blitzing the Tigers triggerman, McLauchlan sending him crashing to the ground.

The visitors continued to force the Glasgow side back towards their own half, forcing them to eventually punt away possession.

Dundee tried to hit back with an effective response but they continued to find Glasgow a tough nut to crack and they soon found themselves in trouble when Bruce Thomson gave up another interception to Hunter who sprinted down the far side for another score, reducing the deficit to just two points.

Things seemed to be going erratic for the Hurricanes when Campbell got in the way of another Bruce Thomson pass.

But the Tigers were having to make some adjustments of their own on offense with back up Quarterback Ally Choat taking over from the injured McLauchlan, who had been forced on the sidelines with a recurring shoulder injury.

The home side were making little headway on their next possession, but an excellent punt put some added pressure on the Hurricanes having to start their new drive from their one yard line.

The Hurricanes went three and out and had to try and kick the ball clear from danger. But the trouble was not over yet as Hunter returned to punt into the Dundee redzone, giving them excellent field position at the start of their next drive.

But the Hurricanes stood their ground and had to settle for a field goal attempt, with injured McLauchlan coming back on to nail the field goal and give the home side a one point lead, setting the scene for a nervous final minutes.

With less than five minutes remaining and with now change in the scoring, the Hurricanes were given a lucky break following another special teams breakdown from the Tigers following a poor snap on a punt attempt, with the punter putting his knew down on the ground as he tried to get the ball away.

This gave the visitors an excellent final chance to clinch victory, starting a new drive on the Tigers 40 yard line.

Less than two minutes remaining, the Tigers were fighting for their lives, desperately trying to hold on to their slender lead.

Then Bruce Thomson did a great job in picking off Henderson at the far corner for his second touchdown, sending the Dundee sideline ecstatic.

Glasgow were unable to find anything left in the tank to sneak a win, but they have another chance to get their own back and get themselves back in the play off hunt when the two sides meet again this coming Sunday.
