Edinburgh Rugby’s Scott Newlands and Fraser McKenzie were on hand to help draw the round two of the Scottish Hydro Premier Cup and National Shield, and round three of the Regional Bowl.

Appearing in a new three-tier format for the first time since clubs voted to revamp the competition at the 2009 Scottish Rugby Union AGM, the new tournament will see each league grouping contest the Premier Cup, National Shield and Regional Plate – with all three finals taking place at the home of Scottish Rugby on Saturday 24 April.

Giant killing Scottish Hydro Premier Two league leaders Stirling County will aim to take a second consecutive Premier One scalp when they host Selkirk, having knocked out Glasgow Hawks in the previous round.

Round 3 of the Regional Bowl produces an interesting derby tie between Mackie Academy and Aberdeen University, the University side will be hoping to progress after winning both home and away in the league against Stonehaven already this season.
