The S4 team reflect the open policy of Stew Mel Lions and is made up of boys from schools around the Lothians, and as far away as Tayside, including Royal High, North Berwick, Trinity, St Thomas, Broughton, Balerno, Perth Academy, Boroughmuir, Linlithgow. Watsons, and Loretto. The team has been together since S1 when, in our first season, we won three out of three tournaments and became EDRU champions. In the SRU finals we lost on the toss of a coin in the semi to the eventual winners.

In S2 we won two of three tournaments in Scotland and were EDRU champions again. In the SRU finals we were runners up to GHK. We also played in an International Festival against teams six months older when we won two games and lost two - good in view of the age difference!

Last year we won our own tournament beating GHK 32-0 in the final. We also won at Ayr Tournament and were EDRU league winners losing only one try all season. In the SRU finals we lost to the winners in the semi final.   


Last year we supplied a large number of players to district rugby- 17 to capital crusaders, 3 to West Lothian Wildcats, 2 to East Lothian Maoris.


  

Our coach since S1 has been ex internationalist Iwan Tukalo and he has put a lot of effort into the team. Iwan now coaches the district side Capital Crusaders U16 as well.

In the last few years we have had guest coaches including Doddie Weir, Finlay Calder and Kenny Milne.
