Silver Saturday 2025 Finalists Confirmed

Fiery west coast derbies and a Sarah Beaney Cup final rematch await on Silver Saturday – Scottish Rugby’s best family day out, featuring seven community finals.

The full fixture list has now been confirmed after several semi-finals were played over the past weekend.

Fourteen teams, contesting seven finals, will take to the national pitch at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, and the home of Edinburgh Rugby, Hive Stadium, on Saturday April 19. The first matches kick off at 10am, and the last – the Sarah Beaney Cup – at 6.30pm.

One ticket gives spectators access to both stadiums and to all seven finals. Along with family-friendly activities on the day, Guinness Women’s Six Nations matches between Scotland and England (4:45pm kick off) and Italy and France (1pm kick off) will be shown live in the President’s Suite for all attendees to view.

Highlights of the day will be the Women’s Shield final, where Greenock Wanderers take on Wigtownshire, and on the men’s side, the Scottish Cup will be decided by a GHA versus Glasgow Academicals showdown.

GHA topped the National League 1 ladder and will compete in the Arnold Clark Men’s Premiership for season 2025-26, while Accies finished third in that league, just off the pace.

The Sarah Beaney Cup will again feature Watsonians and Hillhead Jordanhill. In the 2024 edition, Watsonians won the trophy in comfortable fashion, taking the match 34-5, making it three wins from the past four finals.

Along with the seven finals on Silver Saturday, the Women’s National Bowl final, to be contested by Strathaven Ravens and Dalkeith, will be played on Sunday 13 April on the back pitches of the Murrayfield campus, directly before the Guinness Women’s Six Nations match between Scotland and Italy.
