Melrose, Scotland, (the original Melrose) is a town in the Scottish Borders.
Melrose Sevens is an annual rugby union sevens event held by MelroseRugby Club, in Melrose, Scotland.
Melrose and Gala were left to decide the result of the final.
The Melrose team had had a long rest and the two clubs they had played previously were both light and they were therefore much fresher than their opponents.
After ten minutes ply Melrose obtained a try and left the field without either trying to their goal or finishing the game, claiming the cup; but their title to do so was challenged by Gala on the ground that the game had not been finished.
