Jamie Dobie says Glasgow Warriors winning both legs against Edinburgh made this season's 1872 Cup victory even sweeter.

Warriors triumphed 21-3 at Murrayfield, with Dobie scoring two tries, to back up their first-leg victory at Hampden.

"Delighted to win the cup and it's a bit sweeter this year after the last couple of years, obviously losing the fixture at Murrayfield but still winning the cup," the scrum-half told BBC Scotland.

"So to win both this week and last week that makes it a bit sweeter, so obviously delighted for everyone.

"Everybody knows each other individually and as a team so well. It was pretty attritional again.

"Our forwards had to go through a lot of work, so fair play to them, but it opened up a bit at the end there, we managed to get away slightly, so delighted to pick up four massive league points.

"It's a really good way to round off the year. It's obviously a long season and there's a lot of games, but to finish off with two derby wins is massive."
