Twenty years and World War 1 elapsed before a second attempt was made, again by a rector of Elgin Academy, Iain Graham Andrew.
The club adopted the colours of Elgin Academy – Red and White shirts with Navy Blue shorts.
After hostilities ceased in 1945, the club reconvened in September 1946 with Dr Thow as president and a dentist called George Cusetter as captain.
Elgin Academy provided a nursery, and some of the senior schoolboys often played for the school in the morning and for Moray in the afternoon.
Innes, then Vice President of the Scottish Rugby Union, proposed a toast to the club at the official dinner after the game.
Despite this setback, Moray won the BT Caledonia North Regional Bowl when they defeated fierce local rivals RAF Lossiemouth 8–7.
Morriston proved to be a fortress for the Elgin men, as they spent the first half of the season unbeaten at their riverside home.
Hulking No 8 John Stuart won the club's player of the year, while Centre Harvey Freeman finished up as top Try scorer.
Moray advanced to the final of the Caledonia North Regional Bowl, where they faced local rivals RAF Lossiemouth.
In a tense and dramatic final, Moray scored a last-minute penalty, courtesy of veteran Fly Half, Chris Clarke.
After their win, Moray were entered into the Caledonia national bowl but were eventually knocked out at the semi-final stage by Edinburgh-based Portobello.
There were several departures with Flanker Will Vernon and Winger Connor McWilliam leaving due to attendance at University, while centre Leon Keirl left for RAF Lossiemouth.
The cup competition has been less successful as Moray were forced to withdraw from the 2017–18 Caledonia National Shield due to players being unavailable.
