Boys National Schools Cup 2024 | Semi Finals Draw
On Thursday 7 November the draw for the U16 and U18 National Boys Schools Cup Semi Finals was unveiled by Calum Johnston and Chris Paterson.
Watch the live draw below.
In less than a month’s time, the teams will battle it out for silverware at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, a special occasion for those who make it.
Chris Paterson said: “I can remember my days from school playing in the Cup final. To get that opportunity to play on the international turf is huge. It’ll be a thrill for those who do make it as they follow on from the men’s team who will have just finished up the Autumn Nations Series just before hand.”
U16 Cup Semi Final
Marr College, who beat Dunbar in the Quarter Final, drew Stewart’s Melville College, who themselves beat the Linlithgow. Marr were drawn first to give them the home advantage.
George Watsons College will face the winner of the remaining Quarterfinal heat, which will be either Merchiston Castle School or Strathallan School. The winner will be confirmed after the two sides face either other on Wednesday 13 November at 2.40pm.
