FINAL PERFORMANCE TO REMEMBER FOR GLASGOW U16’s The final match of the U16 IDC Program took place at Dunbar RFC on Sunday 26th April between Glasgow and the Borders. Glasgow dominated the match running in twelve tries to the Borders two. Glasgow disappointed, from two narrow loses to Yorkshire and Lancashire the weekend before, were determined to perform for a full match and finally performed to their potential.
