it's been a tough season for all three XVs and there is still a long way to go but it was really pleasing to see everyone's spirits lifted by the results.

At Balgray the 1st XV took early control of the match and it was only some very good defensive work from Hawks that restricted us to only two tries. See the Offiside LIne's match report HERE
