October break isn’t always a break. The 1XI hockey teams were in for an S&C session and a pitch session ahead of their return to school. A number of the U15 teams joined them to get their first taste of S&C as well. #acciesvalues

The 1st XI hockey teams had an excellent tour to the Netherlands over the October break. Based in Rotterdam with matches vs HC Breda, HC Schiedam and HC Barendrecht who all supplied perfect opposition. @edinburghacad #acciesvalues

[Edinburgh Academy Sports @EdAcadSport]

The hockey tour has landed in Amsterdam and are ready to go! The boys and girls 1st XI have 3 matches each over the next 4 days.

Thank you @Trinity_sports1 for hosting EA U18 basketball team today in a friendly match at Bangholm. A brilliant, end-to-end match that came down to the buzzer, Trinity prevailed in the last play 58-56. Credit to both teams in the spirit the match was played! @edinburghacad

[Edinburgh Academy Sports @EdAcadSport]

A superb and hotly contested internal @RFAFives fixture saw the @edinburghacad U16 Girls edge out the U14 Boys (85-75). First ever Fives match for the boys who are already planning a rematch! #fivesthrivesatEA

A very close game against @strath_sport tonight for our 1st 🏑 boys. Coming out with a narrow & very hard fought win.

👏Thomas. T for his hat-tick

🙌 Robbie W for playing 1st team Hockey & Rugby in the same week!

[Edinburgh Academy Sports @EdAcadSport]

A great first Fives match of the term for @edinburghacad as the U18 Boys took on the local Caledonian Club. A win for experience but a great opportunity for the boys to play against experienced adult players.
