After winning their fourth home game on the bounce, Sonians get their name on The Bill McLaren Shield.

After beating Ayr at Millbrae on the 27th October, the 1XV brought the Bill McLaren Shield back to Myreside. The rule book states you then must win four home games in a row in order to have your name engraved onto the shield. So far, only Melrose, Ayr and Heriots have managed this.

Our four home victories were;

16th November 2018 -V- Heriots (16 - 5)

24th November 2018 -V- Marr (Scottish Cup) (62 - 5)

8th December 2018 -V- Boroughmuir (13-5)

12th January 2019 -V- Glasgow Hawks (43 - 27)
