Well done to the P5 Rugby teams who performed brilliantly to secure 5th and 6th places out of 16 teams at the recent rugby tournament.

While there, they all met Clyde, the Glasgow Commonwealth 2014 mascot.

Both teams started by playing 3 games in groups of four.

The Hawks defeated St Charles Galaxy 5-1, before losing 4-1 to Killies Killer Bees. They secured 2nd spot in the group with a 6-2 win over the Calderwood Cats.

The Hurricanes controversially lost their opening match 6-3 to St Brides before battling out a 1-1 draw with the St Cadoc’s Warriors.  This meant they had to beat James Aiton Jaguars to qualify in 2nd place from the group.  They did this with a 6-2 victory.

Both teams then progressed to the semi finals of the 2nd place play offs.  The Hurricanes defeated the James Aiton Aces 4-1 and the Hawks recorded a 6-2 win over the Burgh Braves.

This meant that they had to face each other in the 2nd Place Play Off Final.  In a brilliant game the Hawks were victorious to secure 5th place overall, with the Hurricanes taking the 6th spot.  Every player received a lovely medal and had a great time (in the sunshine – remarkable!).

Well done.
