Glasgow Hawks
The first half of the season has been a good one for Hawks in that our 1st XV remain on course for a British and Irish Cup place and with only five matches to go in the Premiership, and sitting second, the Premiership title is still in sight. Great credit must go to the senior squad of players, Director of Rugby, Peter Wright , his coaches and back room staff for both the effort and the expertise that the whole 'squad' has shown and hopefully this will be maintained in 2011.
A huge thank you must also go to our loyal band of supporters who travel 'home and away' to support the club at both 1st and 2nd XV level and we look forward to your continuing support next year as both 1st and 2nds push for league (and in the case of the 1sts) cup glory.
Finally without our sponsors, the club would not exist and the community programme, overseen by our Development Manager, Grant Talbot, would not be having the positive impact that it is having on the primary and secondary school children (at Independent and State sector level) of the North and West of Glasgow. To all our sponsors, we say a huge thank you and we look forward to continuing to work in partnership with you in 2011.
Finally I would like to thank my fellow Board & Trust members for the hard work they put in behind the scenes and to Emily Jacobs, Hugh Barrow, Alan James, our match day volunteers and the groundstaff who work tirelessly to ensure the Hawks function effectively through-out the year. Enjoy the festive break!
Yours Aye,
Allan Mackintosh
Chairman.
