Rugby: No 1st XV rugby this weekend while everyone took in Scotland’s Calcutta Cup victory over England and the pre match lunch at MES. From the wider Stew Mel perspective the notable achievement of the rugby weekend was the Scotland under 20s 24-17 win over England under 20s on Friday evening. Wins for Scotland at […]
Rugby: Stewart’s Melville RFC 19 Dundee High 25 A last minute try (above) earned the 1st XV a bonus point against Dundee at Inverleith on Saturday but with the two teams immediately ahead of us in the league table, Musselburgh and Cartha Queens Park playing each other anything less than […]
Golf: Strong performance by Grant Forrest in Australia Former pupil Grant Forrest’s first tournament of the year took him to the clear blue skies and warmth of Perth, Australia where he participated in the European Tour’s World Super 6s event where the initial field of 156 reduced to 8o after 36 holes strokeplay and […]
Edinburgh Accies 34 Stewart’s Melville RFC 5 The 1st XV had an early kick-off at Raeburn Place on Saturday against table toppers Edinburgh Accies in a league match postponed from December. As half-time approached Accies had been held to 12-5 but disappointedly they squeezed in for touchline try just on half-time. Accies […]
Aberdeen Grammar 18 Stewart’s Melville RFC 22 After recent defeats I suppose the best the super optimists within the club might have surmised was that if the 1st XV could beat Gala at Netherdale then a win away to Aberdeen Grammar might be achievable too. That’s exactly what happened with a 22-18 result in our […]
Stewart’s Melville 5 Musselburgh 20 Not the outcome we were looking for. After dominating the first half hour of play without scoring Musselburgh achieved that with about their first venture into Stew Mel territory. Thereafter the game turned in the visitors favour […]
Rugby: Jedforest 64 Stewart’s Melville 7 A difficult day for the 1st XV at Jed on Saturday after a scoreless first quarter. While this match probably was not marked down in the survival plan for Championship rugby this Saturday’s match with Musselburgh at Inverleith (2pm) certainly is. […]
Rugby: Stew Mel 15 points Cartha Queens Park 46 points 1st XV rugby returned to Inverleith on Saturday with what was perceived as a “must win” match v Cartha Queens Park after a five week break due to weather postponements and the holiday period. […]
Rugby The 1st XV match with GHA predictably fell victim to the week’s frosty weather. The rugby club’s lunch hosted by Jim Calder with the SRU’s CEO Mark Dodson speaking about the part time professional super sixes competition to be introduced in season 2019-20 went ahead. The SRU anticipate having one franchised team from each […]
