SCOTTISH DEAF TEAM LIFT KOLKATA CUP
Posted: 21/Nov/06
 Scotland’s Deaf International Rugby team have lifted the Kolkata Cup – their prize after an exciting 27-all draw against their English counterparts at Braidholm, Glasgow at the weekend.
The Scots were awarded the trophy – donated by Rugby World magazine and named Kolkata, the Indian word for Calcutta, to reflect links to the wider game – after out-scoring the English by five tries to three in their inaugural meeting.
Scotland centre, Mike Tweedie (Edinburgh Accies), was named man of the match by two neutral observers from the Welsh Deaf Rugby Union.
Tweedie was among Scotland’s try scorers alongside Boroughmuir’s Grant Rutherford (2), Roddy Matheson (Whitecraigs) and Jamie Hislop (Newton Stewart).
Scotland had led 20 points to three at one point before England clawed back to 20-17 at the interval. In the second-half, Scotland’s fifth try, which was converted, reopened a gap but a penalty and converted try in the 80th minute meant that England drew level 27-all.
Scottish Deaf Rugby’s next international is against their Welsh counterparts, the reigning deaf world champions, in Edinburgh in February over the weekend of the Scotland v Wales RBS 6 Nations international.
