Aberdeen Grammar 22 - 7 Glasgow Hawks
The home side scored two splendid tries through winger Erlend Oag, who was picked up a second brace in a week to prove what an acquisition he has been for Aberdeen. Had stand-off Rob Aloe kicked the points on offer the game would have been finished as a contest by half-time.
As it was, the Glasgow side stunned the homesters with a Rory McKay try straight from the kick off, with stand-off Mike Martin slotting the conversion.
