The National 2 pair dispensed of six National 1 sides between them en route to the final, including runaway National 1 league leaders Dalziel and Whitecraigs in their respective Shield semi-finals. Their efforts mean that National 2 champions Wanderers will face league rivals Lasswade for the third time this season with much more than bragging rights at stake. Greenock Wanderers captain, David Watson, said: "It means a huge amount to everyone: players, supporters and the town as a whole. "We expect another incredibly hard game against Lasswade, both games have been tight and very close towards the end, we know they're very aggressive but we're relishing the challenge." Lasswade captain, Mark Billingham, added: "Without a doubt ourselves and Greenock have been playing the best rugby in National 2. "It'll be massive challenge for us, Greenock have a big pack that dominated Dalziel in the semi-final which is something we've been looking at. We need to keep our set play pretty tight - it's a battle from the front."
