Scotland’s top school sides join the Brewin Dolphin Scottish Schools Cup today. The top 16 seeds – which include big names such as High School of Dundee, Merchiston Castle School, Galashiels Academy and High School of Glasgow – will face the victors of the round three which saw the teams seeded from 17 to 32 come up against the unseeded victors from the previous round. Having comfortably defeated Balfron High School in round three, St Aloyius’ College have drawn the unenviable task of facing title holders Fettes College in the under-18 Cup while beaten finalists, Stewart’s Melville College, travel to Strathallan to stake a claim for another successful cup run.
In the under-15 competition, runners up, George Watson’s College, await the result of a match between Royal High School and Kinross High School to find out who will stand between them and a place in the quarter-finals. Colin Thomson, head of community rugby at Scottish Rugby, said: “It’s always a very exciting time for any competition when the top teams join the action and their arrival has lined up some very interesting match-ups indeed. “Every year we have a lot of new rugby sides joining the competition and in order to maximise the enjoyment for these young players we opted to seed 32 of the rugby sides based on their progress in the previous year while continuing to offer a secondary and tertiary trophy – the plate and bowl.” TOP 16 SEEDED UNDER-18 TEAMS (JOIN 2009/10 CUP ROUND 4)
