Only 12 days remain until Saturday April 27, which will see seven matches decide where Scottish rugby’s top domestic silverware, including the Scottish Cup and Sarah Beaney Cup, will be housed for the 2023/24 season.

After another thrilling weekend of knockout rugby, teams competing for the Men’s Bowl, Women’s Shield, Men’s Shield, Women’s Plate and Sarah Beaney Cup have all been finalised.

Silver Saturday offers a unique opportunity for fans to see rugby played at both the international pitch and at Hive Stadium on the same day. And at just £10 for an adult’s ticket, it’s a no-brainer if you are a fan of the domestic game.
