The Brewin Dolphin Scottish Schools’ Cup is hotting up after some of Scotland’s top seeded schools joined round three of the national competition. The 16 schools seeded from 17 to 32 come up against the unseeded victors from the previous round and include the likes of 2006/07 winners Bell Baxter High School and the regularly competitive St Aloysius’.
 Last season's under-15 Cup winners, Edinburgh Academy Colin Thomson, head of community rugby at Scottish Rugby, said: “It’s always a very exciting time for any competition when the seeded teams join the action and schools across the country get the chance to pit themselves against some of the more established rugby playing schools.” Round 4 will see the top 16 seeded schools join the competition.
