Colin Maguire Memorial

Colin Maguire (Class of 1991) passed away suddenly on 27 May 2024. 

Much loved husband to Claire and dad to Euan (Class of 2020) and Duncan (Class of 2024), Colin - or ‘Boon’ as he was affectionately known - was also a passionate Watsonian. 

Colin loved Myreside and graced the pitch many times playing for the school 1st XV.  After hanging up his own boots, nothing made him prouder than watching his own boys play at George Watson’s College, where they both donned the 1st XV jersey.

Colin’s family and friends would like to install a bench at Myreside in his memory - to make the experience of watching rugby here as special for others as it was for him. A place for people who knew and loved Colin to enjoy the view, win or lose.

If you would like to contribute towards ‘Boon’s Bench’, please do so in the donation form below (any amount, big or small, will be gratefully received.) 

All funds raised will go towards the cost of funding the memorial bench and any donations beyond the cost of the bench will go to the George Watson’s College Enrichment Fund for Sports; to benefit pupils in need of financial support with sports kit, training camps and the opportunity to take part in team tours.
 
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
 
Love from,
Claire, Euan & Duncan Maguire
