HAWICK SEVENS
A good sized crowd enjoyed Sevens day at Mansfield Park and with the hosts taking the honours for the first time since year 2000, a memorable day was had by all concerned. Perhaps ex Hawick secretary had the most memorable day when she was proposed to by her now fiance, a line of Hawick Albion players wearing teeshirts with letters spelling "will you marry me" prior to Hawick's opening tie with Langholm.
Newcastle Falcons, or now called Cooga Wailers, certainly were not the seven of the past three years and were eventually beaten by finalists Selkirk 21-19. Hawick had relatively easy wins in the first two rounds, beating Langholm by 35-7 and Gala by 33-7. In the semi final Hawick saw off Peebles by 21 points to 5 to set up an all Border final with Selkirk.
Rory Hutton opened Hawick's account by running the length of the pitch. John Coutts scored a brace with Greg Goodfellow and Colin Murray scoring one a piece to secure a well deserved and popular win by 31 points to 7.

Team:- Greg Goodfellow, Ryan Hogg, Keith Davies, Neil Renwick, Colin Murray, Steven Anderson, Michael Robertson, John Coutts, Rory Hutton, Zander Bruce
