Dumfries trip awaits Muir after Youth Cup triumph
BOROUGHMUIR confirmed their status as joint-favourites for the National Youth under-18 Cup with a quarter final win over GHA by 34-9 at Meggetland last night.

The result means that Boroughmuir will travel to Dumfries for their semi final match scheduled for Sunday.
Dumfries made sure of their place in the last four with 17-10 win over Haddington at Neilson Park where both sides scored two tries, the difference being Dumfries' goal kicking that produced two conversions and a penalty goal.
In the third quarter final , played at Stoneyhill, joint favourites and last season's beaten finalists, Currie Colts proved too strong for a young Musselburgh side, winning 12-6 to secure an away semi final against Aberdeen Grammar.
Aberdeen Grammar who had already achieved a place in the last four with a win over Highland in the only quarter final that went ahead last month.
