Scores came at regular intervals, the next coming from Colin Murray following a break by Coutts and Thomson, again converted by Renwick. The same combination set up the next score for Neil Renwick who also converted. Kelso scored their only points of the night ten minutes from the interval to turn around 5-21 in arrears.
Two minutes into the second half, the pack set up a converted try by Craig Neish who just came onto the pitch after ther break. The match went flat for a while following some substitutions but Hawick got into their stride again in the 67th minute with a try by Rory Scott. Five minutes later another try by the same player, converted by Renwick takes the score past forty points. Five minutes from time, David Lowrie drove over, again converted by Renwick to finish the scoring at Hawick 47, Kelso 5.
