No 1st XV rugby this weekend – league rugby resumes on Saturday with an away match at Kelso (2pm start).

(Three points for a win and one for a draw in league hockey.)

Rugby

The Rugby Club took the weekend honours with the 1st XV confounding even their most loyal supporters by turning around a 24 point deficit to defeat Gala 31-24 at Netherdale on Saturday. The win takes the 1sts above Musselburgh in the league and within catching distance of Cartha QP and Kelso.

A full report can be accessed here http://www.stewmelrugby.com/1st-xv-match-report-vs-gala .

On Saturday the 1st XV are at home to Selkirk (kick-off 2pm) with a pre match lunch beforehand. All support welcome !

Hockey

The Hockey Club had less to cheer about their 1st Mens team going down 5-1 to Aberdeen Grammar although their Ladies 1sts returned a 2-2 draw with Inverleith.
