 A HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL, 1870-1932
The dignity of a Baronetcy was conferred on William Fettes in 1804.
Sir William Fettes was devoted to his son, and after his death, having no children of his own to succeed him, he decided to leave the bulk of his fortune, gained by his industry and ability, for the purposes of assisting children with their education.
Fettes was fortunate in having in her a gracious and gifted hostess with a sympathetic understanding of youthful aspirations and ambitions.

Against the run of play Ishida pounced on loose ball and it was quickly recycled to the backline who attacked from their own 22 which was finished by Bax in the corner with a try.
The second half started well and the Fettes team altered their game and began to feed their backs with quick ball and gave Marr little chance to dominate in the forwards.
With the clocking ticking Fettes began to have more urgency to their game and began to run everything and try and use their dominance in their backline.
