Glasgow Hawks — Hawick: 19:43, Tennent's Premiership

Glasgow Hawks 19-43 Hawick

Hawick eased to a comfortable away win over Glasgow Hawks in the Tennent's Premier League on Saturday, 19:43. The visitors had already claimed one victory from four games while the hosts sat winless at the bottom of the table.

And here's the thing — we had tipped the home side at 54 per cent confidence. The match simply didn't follow that script. By then, Glasgow's fourth straight defeat was showing in the way they defended, and Hawick knew how to exploit it.

The visitors controlled territory early and didn't look back. Glasgow made tackles but couldn't hold on, while Hawick kept their shape and moved the ball with purpose. It wasn't a game of errors so much as one side executing better than the other.

To be fair, the hosts had lost all four games before this one. Their form against Edinburgh, Watsonians and Melrose last month hadn't suggested improvement. Hawick, meanwhile, had beaten Kelso and held Air before this result pushed them further clear.

The scoreline tells the story without needing commentary. Hawick now sit eight points ahead in eighth place, while Glasgow remain on two points in tenth. The gap between them widened on a day that felt like confirmation rather than surprise.
