Transcript

00:00Hello, it's Graeme Bean at Hamden Park where Glasgow Warriors have just beaten

00:05Edinburgh 33-14 in the first leg of the 1872 Cup. It's a historic occasion, the first

00:13time that the Glasgow Warriors have played here in the pro era and they got

00:17an excellent crowd, almost 28,000 turned up, mainly Warrior supporters to cheer on

00:21their team. They saw five tries and a convincing win. Glasgow led 33-0 at

00:26one point but Edinburgh scored two late tries through Boan Venter to give them a

00:30bit of hope in the second leg at Murrayfield next Saturday. But the day

00:34belonged to Glasgow, they got off to a great start with a try from Jonny Matthews.

00:37Edinburgh lost Per Schumann, a yellow card, shortly afterwards for coming at the

00:42back of Gregor Brown. Hugh Jones then scored Glasgow's second try after

00:50good work by Tom Jordan. Jonny Matthews then got his second to make it 21-0

00:57after 27 minutes. Edinburgh's discipline problems continued just after Schumann

01:02came back on the pitch. They went down 14 men again when Marshall Sykes

01:07was a yellow card for a high tackle. The half was very much

01:13dominated by Glasgow. They went into the turn 20-0 up and moved further ahead early in the

01:17second half with a great try from Kyle Steyn, their captain, backing the team for the

01:22first time in three months after an injury. It looked like Glasgow were

01:28really going to record a huge win because Jamie Dobie came off the bench

01:32and got their fifth try. That made it 33-0 and it could have been a

01:38record score but credit to Edinburgh, they did fight back towards the end.

01:42Two tries in the final seven minutes from Boan Venter, their placement prop, both

01:47from tap penalties from close range and both converted by Ben Healey.

01:52Overall it was a good occasion, a good crowd, good turnout and Glasgow

01:58will be the happier of the two teams. They won 33-14.
