The festival sees two Scottish regional sides called Edinburgh Reivers U18 and Glasgow Caledonia Reds U18, along with Merchiston and Stewart’s Melville schools and club side Boroughmuir, take part in a short-format competition that also includes nine English schools.

Edinburgh Reivers have been put in a group with Dulwich, Seaford and Dame Allan’s, while Glasgow Caledonia Reds are paired with Sherborne, Barnard Castle and Boroughmuir RFC.

Saturday matches will be 12-minute halves, with the top two from each of the four groups of four teams advancing to a trophy competition on Sunday, while the bottom two sides compete for the bowl. The Sunday fixtures will be 10-minute halves.

The two regional teams are made up of players who were not already playing in the competition for their school or club.
