Hawick only a point off top spot in rugby’s Tennent’s Premiership after bonu-point win at GHA
Their 41-24 victory in Giffnock was also their second bonus-point win on the trot, keeping the fourth-placed Borderers, now on 20 points from five games, within a point of the three teams above them.
Next up for the Greens as they look to maintain their challenge for pole position is a visit from last year’s champions, sixth-placed Marr, this coming Saturday, with kick-off at 3pm.

GHA’s tries were scored by Amena Caqusau at the double and Chris Hyde, with the latter adding three conversions and a penalty.
Hawick head coach Matty Douglas was delighted to see his side pick up five points at GHA, telling Borders Rugby TV afterwards: “We’re really happy with that result. It’s a good five points on the road up in Glasgow.
“We know how tough a place GHA is to go to get a result, and they had a good game against Currie last week so they were coming into it with a lot of confidence.
