Tickets are now on sale for this year’s Silver Saturday event during the Murrayfield centenary celebrations, where community rugby and family fun will take over Scottish Gas Murrayfield and Hive Stadium on 19 April.

Contested on the day will be the Scottish Cup, Sarah Beaney Cup, Women’s Plate final, Men’s National League Cup final, Men’s and Women’s Shield finals, and the Men’s National Bowl final.

The first matches will kick off at 10am, with the last match – the Sarah Beaney Cup – kicking off at 6.30pm.

Along with the family-friendly activities on Silver Saturday, the Guinness Women’s Six Nations match between Scotland and England will be played on the big screens in the President’s Suite.

The Women’s National Bowl final is also part of Scottish Rugby’s national finals, though it will be played on Murrayfield’s back pitches on Sunday 13 April at 12pm, ahead of the Scotland versus Italy Guinness Women’s Six Nations match at Hive Stadium.

Club Rugby Board vice president Hazel Swankie said Silver Saturday provides a platform like no other for club rugby in Scotland.

“Silver Saturday is always a shining highlight on the club calendar. I can’t wait to welcome all 14 teams and their many supporters on April 19.

“I wish everyone the best of luck in their qualifying, and to those who reach finals, a great day out awaits for all players, win or lose.”

Gates will open at 9.15am for spectators, with a range of food and drink options available throughout the day.
