Cordner Eggleston Cup

The Cordner-Eggleston Cup is awarded annually for perpetual competition between Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College. These schools first played Australian Rules Football on 7 August, 1858, the first recorded game.

In 2001 the game was played at the MCG as part of Scotch's 150th celebrations. There was the unveiling of a statue commemorating the first game of Australian Rules played. The statue is a gift to the people of Victoria from Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar

Northern Territory and Tiwi Island Tour

As part of its football development program Scotch College implemented a tour to the Northern Territory and Tiwi Islands in 1996 for a combined squad of Year 9 and 10 footballers. The tour was an outstanding success in both a football and cultural sense with our boys playing football at a level higher than they had experienced before. Students and staff also experienced the culture of the delightful people of Bathurst Island who overwhelmed the Scotch group with their enthusiasm and hospitality.

As a result of the success of the 1996 tour the football department has made an on going commitment to the program and further tour have taken place in 1998 and 2000. Plans are now well underway for a fourth tour in March 2002.

The Scotch boys will play against combined NT City and Country teams as well as the boys from the school on Bathurst Island.
