2007 Queen Elizabeth Coronation Schools Trophy
For what is believed to be the first time in the history of the competition, the Accie team reached the final of the Queen Elizabeth Coronation Schools Trophy (the Scottish equivalent of the Halford Hewitt) at the Royal Burgess last weekend, losing out to Stewart’s Melville in closely contested final by two matches to one. Having, unusually, had a bye into the Sunday, the team lead by Iain Smith saw off Gordonians and Old Breadalbanes before beating last year’s winners, Fettes, in the semi finals. Aside from Iain Smith the team consisted of Alistair Carnie, Joe Lockie, Mike McPhee, Iain Macdonald, John Lang with Colin McClung and then James Bryce coming in as replacements.

2007 EAGC vs EA
Tues. 25th saw a young team from the school take on an “experienced” Accies team at Bruntsfield golf club. In recent years the boys have won and drawn the fixture but this time they lost 3 points to nil. The match is a foursomes format (played in pairs where players take alternate shots of the ball). This always tests friendships, but I can say that despite the loss the boys are still speaking to each other.
