Edinburgh University Medics RFC is a rugby union club based in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Men's team currently plays in East Division 3.
History
[edit]The distinctive colours of the club - red, maroon and yellow - are said to represent blood, liver and pus, befitting a team of medics.[1]
The side won the Scottish and Northern Irish Medics Sports, which was hosted in Edinburgh at Inch Park on 2 November 2019.[2]
The club’s most successful day was in 2023 when they were crowned Bowl champions of the east region. The final was played against Hawick Harlequins, a side who were two leagues above. Despite the Hawick side’s large pack, EUMRFC managed to hold out for an impressive 18-12 victory, allowing then skipper Francis Branford to lift the trophy before retiring from the role to pursue a career in teaching.
