Latest Results in Scottish Schools Cups

The Scottish Schools Cups have now reached the quarter-final stage for all competitions, and we know the semi-final line-up for the boys’ cups. The 51 matches played over the last two months have produced loads of exciting hockey, including a few penalty shoot-outs as teams compete for places at the cup finals in March.

Teams have travelled the length of the country, including journeys between the Borders and Aberdeen. But none as far as Gordonstoun’s S3 girls’ 450-mile round trip to play Wellington in Ayrshire! Thank you to all the teachers and coaches who have worked so hard to make this happen.

The draws for all competitions can be found here: Scottish Schools Cup Draws.
