An introduction to Youth Finals Day
We have a host of fixtures today at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, as teams compete for silverware on an action-packed day of Youth Finals rugby. It all gets underway at 11:30 with Girls’ U16 Shield and Cup games, culminating in the Boys’ U16 and U18 Shield and Cup finals at 6pm. With plenty of live rugby, and support from friends and families alike, it promises to be a memorable day of rugby at Scottish Gas Murrayfield!

Welcome from Gavin Scott, Director of Rugby Development
Another busy day has arrived in the rugby calendar, as Scottish Rugby Youth Finals Day is set to showcase no fewer than eight fixtures across the Scottish Gas Murrayfield campus.
The 16 teams competing for silverware have worked ever so hard to have the opportunity to play on our international pitches with world class facilities. They will all be striving to ensure that today is the most memorable day in their young rugby lives.
With plenty of support from families, friends, volunteers and coaches, Youth Finals Day marks the culmination of lots of hard work, dedicated training and hard-fought matches over the course of the past few months.
The most important thing, though, is that all the players competing at Scottish Gas Murrayfield today enjoy the occasion and to that end, I’d like to wish the very best of luck to all 16 squads in their quest for success.
