Praise for Biggar’s rugby Colts
Ian and coaching colleagues John Warnock, Gavin Hill and David Murray led the team to this season’s Edinburgh Under-18 Championship title.

“But somehow we managed to exceed expectations.

The Edinburgh league triumph was Biggar’s seventh in the past 30 years of the competition, but the first time they’ve won it since 2001.
The Hartreemill boys won 11 games out of 11 this season, including victories against leading lights like Musselburgh, Dunbar and Haddington.
