GHA 38, HAWICK 17
The difference in league placings meant nothing on the day when bottom place GHA comfortably beat seventh place Hawick at Braidholm and shows that there are no easy matches for any team in this league. After Hawick's much improved display last week against Edinburgh Accies, it was back to playing as individuals rather than a team. The tacking was very poor, the lineout again is needing attention and the forwards failed to hunt as a pack which was not the case earlier in the season.
GHA produced their best display of the season to ease their relegation worries with a bonus point win. The match was all but over at half time as GHA scored five of their six tries. Another try in the second half completed the rout. All Hawick could respond with was two converted tries by Geoff Cross and Greg Goodfellow and a penalty which leaves Hawick with much work to do in the coming weeks to get their league campaign back on track.

Team:- Barry Sutherland, Colin Murray, Craig Neish, Rory Scott, Michael Graham, Rory Hutton, Kevin Reid, Nicky Little, Simon Fleetwood, Geoff Cross, Michael Robertson, Gavin Petrie, Nick McTaggart, David Lowrie and Ryan Hogg
Subs:- Greg Goodfellow, Steven Anderson, Ross Borthwick, Keith Davies and Sean Linton

SELKIRK A 3, HAWICK ACADEMY 41
with the souters having defeated second placed Gala the week previous,  a hard fixture was expected and so it was. With only a  missed penalty attempt by each side being the nearest to open the scoring in the first half hour, the deadlock was broken when a Selkirk clearance was fielded by B Campbell who fed S Anderson,  going flat out  he chipped a defender, regathered, and fed center R Armstrong who ran in to score. A penalty by the home team narrowed the score to 5-3, before an Academy box kick was allowed to bounce and landed in the bread basket of prop Bobby Robson on the 22. With no defenders to beat, he showed a fair turn of speed for a prop  to score Brian Habana style for a 10-3 half time lead. 
Five minutes into the second half skipper and veteran Hawick player N Douglas ran in Hawick's third try after a poor clearance by the Souters and the bonus point try followed soon after when within a minute of coming of the bench Ross Borthwick finished of a fine move to score under the posts.  This saw N Renwick kick his first points of the night. The fitness of the players which had shown up over the season showed up again in the last 10 minutes as they ran in 3 tries, firstly K Davies was on hand to score following a fine interplay between Renwick Goodfellow and Anderson, then the backs worked an overlap for Douglas to run in his second. In the last minute of play B Campbell finished off on behalf of the forwards when he went over from all of one foot to score, Renwick converted 2 of the 3 tries.
