News Summary:
Melrose Rugby competed in the Arnold Clark Men's Premiership, with their Round 3 match against Currie on September 12, 2026, seeing Melrose gain an early three-point lead from a Luke Townsend penalty. Previously, on August 29, 2026, Melrose played GHA in the Arnold Clark Premiership under bright, warm, and dry conditions, a significant change from the continuous drizzle of the previous year's encounter. Earlier, on May 30, 2026, Melrose participated in the inaugural Edinburgh Sevens, co-hosted by Edinburgh Accies, Heriots, and Watsonians at Raeburn Place, which marked the final and eleventh "Kings of the Sevens" Tournament for the 2025/26 season. This followed the Melrose Sevens 2026 held on May 23, 2026, which featured three distinct competitions: the Men’s “1883 Cup,” the Ladies “Breadalbane Doddie Claymore,” and the Under 18 “Jim Telfer Cup.” Melrose also secured victory at the Kelso Sevens on May 2, 2026, where they dominated Pool "D" by defeating Selkirk 15-12 and Durham University 35-12, before advancing to beat Edinburgh Accies 32-24 in the semi-final and Gala 35-19 in the final, with Finn Douglas scoring an early try, converted by Scott Clark, just after the kick-off.
