From the Hawick Express of 31 August 1938:
MUSSELBURGH SEVENS Musselburgh are the latest Rugby club to offer a silver challenge cup for competition.
Through the generosity of their hon. president, Mr J. D. Brunton, the Club has received a handsome cup, and the winners of the sevens at Musselburgh on Saturday, September 10, will hold the cup for one year. The winners will also receive gold medals.
Strong sevens have been promised from the following clubs:—Royal High School, Edinburgh Academicals, Edinburgh Wanderers, Edinburgh City Police, Edinburgh Borderers, Selkirk, Melrose, Gala Star, Hawick Linden, Walkerburn and Peebles.
From The Scotsman of 12 September 1938:
MUSSELBURGH SEVENS
EASY SUCCESS FOR ROYAL HIGH SCHOOL (F. P.)
A strong Royal High School (F. P.) side proved a class above anything else in the Musselburgh Rugby Club’s first seven-a-side tournament, held at Shirehaugh, on Saturday, and they were easy winners of the Brunton Challenge Cup and gold medals. In none of their ties could it be said that they were fully stretched. Walkerburn actually scored first against them in the semi-final but any visions of a turn-up were soon dispelled, and against Gala Star in the final the Schoolmen ran up the biggest score-of-the day. The junior combination from the Borders, who had had a gruelling match in the semi-final, were completely outplayed. To get to the last stage however was a fine performance on the part of Gala Star. Their tussle with Melrose in the penultimate round was the match of the day and was decided by the last minute score. The promoting club went out to Walkerburn in the first round, but ought not to the run of play.
The winning team , read:- R. M. Macarthur, J. Borthwick, E. T. Gollogly, D. Murray, P. W. Tait , J. Allen and R. Bisset.
