Edinburgh lost narrowly to Ulster in the semi-finals in Dublin.

Stand-off Jamie Carson, converted ten of his side’s scores.

At Meggetland, Boroughmui­r recorded a 52-5 win over a Currie Chieftains side unable to field a full squad, beginning the match with only 14 players.

For Boroughmui­r, Lennox Baselala (2), Beck Davies, Scott Habib, Lewis Thompson, Gavin Inkster, Callum Ewart and James Stewar scored tries and there were conversion­s from Calum Anderson, Lewis Reid (2) and Nairn Ross (3).

In the other Shogun Conference match at under-18 level, Ayr were comfortabl­e winners over West of Scotland.

Meanwhile, in schools rugby, George Heriot’s continued their good run of results at first XV level by defeating Hutchesons’ Grammar School 38-14.

But the Goldenacre side had to come from behind in the final eight minutes of the match when they rediscover­ed their winning formula.

“After a dismal first half we trailed 10-14, but we got our act together in the second half and ended up winning the game.” said the Heriot’s coach Ewan Harrison.

Tomorrow four-time winners George Watson’s College travel to Aberdeen for their cup-tie with Robert Gordon’s College ,amatch in which the Myresiders, unbeaten in domestic competitio­n so far this season, will be the favourites to win.
