The Glasgow derby began with
the Tigers taking an early lead. QB Matt McCusker found WR Ian Bertram twice from deep range and with both 2PATs converted
the Tigers made the first quarter lead 16-0. The roughriders defense reasserted themselves in the second quarter but QB McCusker
was on fine form and hit two more passes for TDs to TE Ian Hay and WR Matt Mcree respectively. The Caley defense broke up
both attempts at the 2PAT to leave the game 28-0 at the half. The third quarter would prove to be the most important as the
Tigers stamped their authority on the game just as the Roughriders were starting to cause the Tigers defense some problems.
RB Andy hall ran in a TD from close range before QB Matt McCusker hit his fifth and sixth TD passes to TE David Grant and
WR Ian Bertram for a hat-trick of TD receptions. The Tigers converted the 2PATs on each occasion. The fourth quarter saw the
Tigers end the game with three more scores. RB Peter Neill ran in from close range before QB Rob Campbell ran in from 30 yards
behind some good Tigers blocking. Both TDs were converted for the 2PAT when DB Stuart Proudlock intercepted and returned the
ball 10 yards for the final score.
