In 1989 he played for Scotland Schools and was highlighted as having huge potential for senior rugby.[1] At the time he was still in Dollar Academy.[2]

He enlisted with Glasgow High Kelvinside that same year.[3]

While at Strathclyde University studying for an MSc in Business Economics, Ness represented Scotland Students at the Rugby Students World Cup in 1992.[4]

Glasgow High Kelvinside merged with Glasgow Academicals to form Glasgow Hawks in 1997. (Both original clubs still survive as spin-offs from the merger). From 1997 Ness then played for amateur club Glasgow Hawks.[5][6][7][8]

The flanker was named in the professional provincial Glasgow squad for the season 1997-98[9]

Ness played for Glasgow in their pre-season match against London Scottish on 10 August 1997. Although Glasgow lost the match 15 - 49, Ness scored a try.[10]
