The Tigers were on the road to Dundee on Sunday and had their best away win of the season against a resolute Hurricane outfit at Morgan Rugby Club. The game started with the Tigers defence holding the Hurricanes to a three and out, with linebackers Thompson Sunerton and Jamie Boyd being particularly dominant for the Glasgow side.

The Tigers then got going on their second possession when the eighteenth play of the drive had quarterback Darnell Starks hit a peach of a pass to Scott Vallance for the opening score. Dundee held firm on the conversion attempt. There was no further scoring in a tense first half with the Dundee defence picking up two interceptions but unable to make them count, due to the stout defence of the Tigers. The last play of the half saw Tigers cornerback James Lindsay intercept a Dundee pass and leave his team up by 6–0.

The third quarter started well for the Tigers as they drove down the field and Starks connected with Michael Church for another score and Church then ran in the conversion. The Dundee offence tried to get back into the game but a couple of key injuries hampered their efforts.

The fourth quarter saw a flurry of scores as the Tigers added to their lead, with firstly, a short Mo Adams run, and a Starks conversion pass to Paddy O’ Donnell. Next up was another nice pass into the endzone and this time Starks found receiver Stuart McNeil. Adams then added the conversion run.

The final Tigers touchdown came when Jamie Boyd intercepted a wayward Dundee pass and took it all the way back, outrunning most of the Dundee defence before reaching the endzone. Starks then stretched out and added the conversion run himself. The final score of 38–0 did not look likely at halftime, however the Tigers stepped up their game in the second half to show just what they are capable of.
