A time to give and to care...
















The Autumn tests are complete for another year with a good showing from our Glasgow Warrior players past and present. It was great to see the support for Doddie and My Name 5 Doddie Foundation (https://www.myname5doddie.co.uk/) raising awareness of and money for MND research.  Next year the Autumn Tests will be in August prior to the World Cup.  Now we are back into the PRO14 with a bang!

It has felt like a while since we had a game at Scotstoun, but it was great to be back and see the boys in action. It was also Niko's 100th appearance as well as D'Arcy Rae's 50th appearance and Ruaridh Jackson's 100th start.  There was a fury of tries by Adam Ashe, Niko Matawalu, Callum Gibbins (Winner of the longest arm stretch to the line), Tommy Seymour, Rory Hughes and Niko Matawalu and as a result Cardiff couldn't match the pace, ferocity or creativity of the Warriors. The second half perhaps wasn't as fluid but what potential the boys have if they put together an 80 minute performance. 

The XVIth Warrior were in full voice supporting the team to keep to fortress Scotstoun and maintain our position at the top of the league. Let’s have more of the same on Saturday as Scarlets come to visit. Hopefully we are in for another strong performance from the boys ahead of rounds 3 & 4 of the Heineken Champions Cup!

As the XVIth Warrior we are also keen to support  initiatives and charities to give and care for others. Here are a few current examples -

  • Let's get behind the White Ribbon Campaign by signing the pledge in the clubhouse- “I pledge never to commit, excuse or remain silent about male violence against women.“ See more at https://www.whiteribbon.org.uk/

  • Lets raise some money for Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity (Official Charity partner of Glasgow Warriors) through our bake sale at the game on Saturday and our quiz night on Monday.  See more at  https://www.glasgowchildrenshospitalcharity.org/

  • Let's don those kilts and tartan trews as we celebrate St Andrew's Day
