High School teams look to Power way to finals

Balfron High and Wallace High are only one match away from the final of the ScottishPower Warriors Rugby Championship.

Shawlands Academy from Glasgow will face Wallace High while Balfron meet Douglas Ewart High from Newton Stewart in the semis at Scotstoun Stadium on Tuesday, April 25.

The winners go head to head on Saturday, May 6, in a curtain-raiser to the 1872 Cup match at Scotstoun between Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh.

The schools are represented by three teams – S1 and S2 boys and U-15s girls – in an event designed to promote active, healthy lifestyles.

Former Stirling County captain Al Kellock, now a Scottish Rugby Ambassador, said:“We’re genuinely impressed by the skills all of the teams have brought to the pitch.

All the teams going into the semi-final stages have shown real determination so it’s set to be a great showdown.”
