The Maclays Bros reunite

Band of Brothers

With interest in the Accies v GHK Legends Boxing Day clash building to fever pitch the team lineups have been listed

What a glittering array of former greats from halcyon days ready to rekindle their days of youth on the Elesyian Fields of New ANNIESLAND
Some are household names others maybe not even household names in their own household but they share a love for the handling code a sort of who's who and a who's he of Glasgow rugby

Among all this who's who of ANNIESLAND are the Band of Maclay Brothers
Not many of our younger readers will recall when John and Ally last lined up together but the archives have been searched
John and Ally last took the pitch together more than seven years ago when they were in the Hawks team for the 2007 Cup Final at Murrayfield triumphing over Ian Barnes' Edinburgh Accies side 24-13
Barnes was a formidable coach he even got one of his side Alistair Marsh to depart his own wedding leave his new bride and hitch a helicopter ride to Edinburgh to play before returning for the reception after the final whistle but all to no avail
Boxing Day will see the brothers reunite to face not Edinburgh but Glasgow Accies in what is loosely described as a Legends match
KO 1-00 pm
