Craig ‘Croc’ Dunbar Died 4th February 2020 Coffs Harbour, New South Wales It is with great sadness that I write to confirm the untimely death of Craig Dunbar who played at Inverleith in the late eighties.

We are sad to announce that club legend Dougie Morgan passed away on Saturday night. Not only was he a fabulous rugby player who represented Stewart’s Melville, Scotland and the British Lions, but he was a true gentleman and one of the nicest men you will meet. He will be hugely missed by us all. Our heartfelt condolences go to ...

In a nutshell, it has been brilliant! We only lost three games. Against GHK we weren’t quite ready; PL was a bad day at the office; and Peebles – well, ...
Back to heightened blood pressure and raised heart rate! The relatively relaxed demeanour of last week’s encounter against Whitecraigs was quickly banished from the memory as the Senior 1st XV produced a rather disjointed and lacklustre first half performance against a youthful Newton Stewart XV.

Inverleith was graced with rugby royalty last Saturday. At the pre-match lunch, it was a pleasure to meet both the Alldritt and Sword families, with their sons (Scott and Jamie, respectively) having played such a significant part in the club’s progress this season. It is to be hoped that they enjoyed their afternoon and that we will be able to ...
