Irvine Cup
Sir James Colquhoun Irvine was Principal of the University of St Andrews from 1920 to 1952. He was also Principal of University College, Dundee from 1930 to 1939. As a keen golfer he presented a trophy to be played annually between the staff of St Andrews and Dundee in 1936.
Since 1936, a total of 79 matches have been played. Dundee and St Andrews are now level, with 35 wins each and 9 matches drawn. Remarkably, St Andrews last led the series in 1938 — and in 2025, they have finally drawn level with Dundee once again.
Here are photos of the winning 2025 St Andrews team (from left to right: Jon Sidebottom, Graham Miller, Renald Schaub, Richard Rooney, Colin Fleming, Samuel Warne, and Ron Morrison), along with the stunning backdrop of Scotscraig:
