Having a bye into the second round MELROSE had a nervy tussle with London Scottish with only one try being scored. London Scottish nearly stole victory, but, fortunately for MELROSE, an Exile dropped the ball over the line in his attempt to gain victory. MELROSE continued to have close encounters beating Currie by 3 points in the Quarter Final and Edinburgh Rugby Academy by 5 points in the Semi-final. Roly Brett started the Final with an unconverted try in the corner followed a few minutes later by a Shogun converted try scored by Gabriel Rocaires to give Shogun a 7-5 lead at the break. Eventually Shogun scored an unconverted try by Will Hendy in the corner to give Shogun a 2 tries to 1 victory.
