Glasgow Warriors support clubs

Glasgow Warriors will be linking players to BT Premier Division1 clubs for playing purposes as part of the new protocol agreed between the pro-teams and the top end of the community game.
Warriors’ players will also be available to assist clubs in an ambassadorial/coaching role in ALL other areas of the community game and arrangements for that should be made through the Warriors’ team management.

Four BT Premier One clubs are linked to the Warriors.  All of these clubs already have Warriors’ apprentice or part-time players who are NOT part of the allocation process.

The players have been allocated following meetings between the clubs and Warriors.  The process has been done on two counts
• Players returning to the club from which they joined the pro-ranks
• Players allocated on a positional basis

The players are:

Aberdeen GSFP – John Beattie, Ben Prescott, Andrew Wilson and props and midfield backs in the shape of Scott Barrow, Andy Craig, Lee Harrison and Kevin Ktachuk

Ayr – wings, scrum-halves and back row in the shape of Graeme Beveridge, Donnie Macfadyen, Eddie McLaughlin, Jon Petrie, Sam Pinder and Mike Roberts

Glasgow Hawks – Andrew Henderson, Rory Lamont, Graeme Morrison, Euan Murray, Colin Shaw, Steve Swindall and Fergus Thomson and hooker, back-row and full-back in the shape of Paul Dearlove, Scott Lawson and Graydon Staniforth

Stirling County – locks and stand-offs in the shape of Tim Barker, Craig Hamilton, Gregor Hayter, Calvin Howarth, Dan Parks and Dan Turner.

Under the protocol a maximum of four professional players can play in any one team but provided their opponents have at least two players ie that there would be a maximum difference of two pro players allocated between teams competing against each other.

This weekend Glasgow Warriors are not releasing any players to clubs as they have their final preparation game for the Celtic League, away against Newcastle Falcons on Saturday (kick off 5.30pm).
