An Eddie McLaughlin try helped Ayr to a 48-10 win over Stewart's-Melville

Glasgow Warriors' winger Eddie McLaughlin was on target for Ayr as they ran out 48-18 winners over Stewart's Melville at Millbrae today.

Currie forced champions Glasgow Hawks to produce another second-half fightback in an untidy affair at Old Anniesland.

The Malleny men had set up a possible shock by going 9-0 in front at the break, however a burst of tries by Nick Cox, Stevie Duffy and Murray Strang steadied the home nerves.

Mike Adamson made all the conversions to make sure Hawks kept their 100% record.

Is this guy going to play for Glasgow at all. Though he was only on a 4 month contract and notice he's not in the HC squad. Money being thrown away??

There's still time - but not too much. It's a trial period - it would be money thrown away if we has signed someone on a 2-year contract who then didn't make the grade.

When Jahoer and Hinton dropped out, the Warriors looked to be desperately short of back 3 players, especially when Roberts was still a unknown quantity. To give the management some credit, they moved quickly to replenish the squad.

McLaughlin seems to have been marginalised by the arrival of O'Hare - who seems to have inspired a lot of confidence amongst the coaches, securing a full contract and moving straight into the playing squad - and the solid start made by Roberts.

It would be disappointing if Eddie left without ever getting a real chance to show what he could do though.

There's some chat from the Welsh that they should get O'Hare capped before we steal him!!

Is he managing to keep up his fitness level, Gordon?
