Competing Teams

Use this category as a working map of club identity rather than a results ledger. Boroughmuir, Borders rivals, and visiting sides all carry stories that sit between scorelines: where a club came from, how it entered the Melrose Sevens conversation, and why its appearances still matter to supporters reading the archive today.

The notes here lean on tournament records, club histories, and match context, but sevens archives can leave gaps around selection, travel, and local press coverage. Treat each profile as a grounded starting point: compare the club background, follow the rivalry threads, then return to the tournament pages when you want the fuller match setting.
