With the S6 upon us it is only right we say farewell to the Hawks leaving us and hoping to make their debuts this weekend or across the next few weeks.
Alfie Maitland and Andy McLean have both managed to secure deals with the Boroughmuir Bears. However Alfie maybe unavailable due to an injury sustained in our quarter final win v Heriots on Saturday. Andy McLean joined us from Gordonians and made an immediate impact on the Premiership resulting in him being LTI replacement with the Bears in the Championship season and then being selected in the Scotland U20’s squad for the 6 Nations.
Alfie joined us from Stewart’s Melville and has had a frustrating year due to injury. However this didn’t stop him from being involved in the wider training squad for the 20’s.
Eric Davey, Ru Hart and Moby Ogunlaja also leave Hawks to join Stirling Wolves. Eric joined us from Strathallan and has been a mainstay of the squad and was 24th man in the 20’s 6 Nations squad on two occasions.
Ru joined us from Glasgow Academy and his work rate on and off the park made him a regular figure in the 1st XV and subsequently he went on to represent the 20’s across the 6 Nations.
Moby’s 2 seasons with us have been blighted by injury. However he impressed in a training session against the 6 Nations squad for the 20’s and was the 1st choice tight head for Kenny Murray throughout the 6 Nations.
Kerr Yule while only managing a few games due to injury made an immediate impact on the squad and at 17 made his debut. From there he started every game for the 20’s having joined us from West of Scotland.
Finally Euan McAra, who joined us from Biggar, also leaves us to join Heriots. Having been injured at the start of the season he was released to help Heriots Super 6 in the Championship season where he impressed both coaches. Since then he has battled with Eric throughout the season for the starting 9 jersey which has brough out the best in both players.
Thanks has to go to Boroughmuir and Stirling who have allowed Andy and Eric to play in our semi final v Hawick next week.
All at Hawks wish the boys well on their next chapter.
