Stewart’s Melville beat Edinburgh Academy 3-2 at the third time of asking after two weather-related cancellations.

In the other semi, Aberdeen Grammar School’s impressive 5-0 win v Glenalmond has earned them a trip to play Fettes College, who beat Heriot’s 3-1.

Junior Girls Schools Cup

The Junior Girls Cup gives a lot of young players their first experience of a national competition, and all of this season’s quarter finals have been crackers. Fettes College’s 2-1 win against Heriot’s has earned them a home tie against Mary Erskine’s, who also won 2-1 v St George’s.

George Watson’s College won 3-1 away at Dollar Academy and will meet Edinburgh Academy in the semis after they beat High School of Dundee 4-1 at home. This ensures that the Cup will be heading back to Edinburgh … but who will come out on top? It’s too tight to call.
