Apologies for being 12 days late with this! On Wednesday 23rd November Team 3’s home fixture against Edinburgh University Team 3b was postponed because of the hall lighting problems. That meant that on Friday 25th November they had to travel to Edinburgh University to play the much better Edinburgh University Team 3 without the benefit...

Sunshine in Leith?
