A much more cohesive performance than last week from AEI resulted in a win albeit in unfamiliar surroundings at Old Saltleians’ ground due to match congestion at the home of Spartans. The match was a rerun of the fixture earlier in the season with AEI able to break the […]
AEI suffered a setback in their fight for top spot with another away loss with only a scratch 15 which was put together at the very last moment due to several last minute withdrawals and lack of effective communication. The game had an intended early start but with 45 […]
Having had a last gasp victory 45-44 earlier in the season, Saturday’s scoreline at least painted the picture of an altogether more comfortable win but the match itself was a closely fought affair. With an experienced and muscular pack at the visitors’ disposal, AEI’s pack were unable to dominate […]
AEI returned to winning ways with an emphatic home victory against a bare 15 man opposition. From the outset AEI dominated proceedings and finished the match with the lion’s share of both territory and possession. The home side had the upper hand in almost all aspects of the game […]
A much more evenly matched contest than last week’s continued AEI’s poor run of results since the end of November 2011. Suffering from a lack of fit and available backs, AEI again had to play several players out of position and lacked the cutting edge which was to the […]

AEI marked the start of 2012 with a return to winning ways in a hastily arranged friendly after another league opponent failed to raise a team. A significant slope and breeze meant that AEI were literally facing an uphill struggle in the first half and, unable to match the physicality […]
Shorn of 5 regular players through injury and holiday unavailability a 14 man team went to Coventrians 2 and suffered their first league defeat of the season. Ignoring the numerical disadvantage, AEI opened the scoring after a solid 7 man scrum gave possession to the backs and some good […]
A two week break from rugby due to opposition cancellations meant that AEI were rusty from the enforced inactivity and the scratch 15 (containing 10 forwards and only 5 recognised backs) lost a hastily arranged friendly after yet another cry-off from their league opponents. AEI started the brighter and […]
A top of the table clash saw AEI leapfrog the league leaders with a comfortable away win and was a fitting send-off for Joe Bott who faces a potentially season ending operation on a troublesome wrist injury. The team knew that the outcome of this fixture could define the […]
