Centurion Matthews marks milestone with a try

Johnny Matthews marked his 100th apperance for Warriors with a try
Johnny Matthews marked his 100th Warriors appearance with his 49th try for the club, moving clear into third place in their all-time try-scorers list.

Matthew's try-scoring exploits have made him a cult hero among Glasgow supporters and the hooker admitted it was "pretty cool" to be on the scoresheet on the occasion of a big personal milestone. Matthews was on hand after Dragons held up an initial lineout drive just short of the line, and he was in place to plunge over for the score.

"You could tell I was desperate to get into position there," Matthews told Premier Sports, . "I might have been telling a few boys to get out of the way! It is always good to score, but even better to get a win as a team and the most important thing was getting the nil there and showing the discipline to keep them out.

"I'm pretty fortunate to sit behind quite a disciplined pack. They work really hard on that rolling maul, particularly when we get to five metres out, with the pick-and-goes.

"The boys have put together what they called a highlights reel for me, but really it's just me flopping over from a yard! I think it would have been the easiest highlight reel anyone has put together. But it is brilliant. To be a centurion at any club is pretty special, but even more so at this club. I’m really proud to have done it."
