Millbrae v Aberdeen University - BT Bowl final preview


Millbrae RFC's big day out to BT Murrayfield is nearly here, and they are ready to face Aberdeen University on the main pitch of the national stadium to battle it out for the BT National Bowl.

Currently top of BT West Division 3, the Alloway team take on the university side who are in third place in BT Caledonia Division 3 North, but league standings are nothing to go by when silverware is up for grabs.

The students from the north beat Earlston 22-0 in the semi-final after just pipping Deeside 29-27 to the BT Caledonia Bowl North in January, and will be keen to get their hands on another trophy.

But the men in pink and black are just as eager to bring home the national bowl to add to the BT West Bowl they claimed in February by beating Police Scotland Glasgow 11-0.  They then went on to a 14-3 win against Grangemouth Stags in March to seal their place in tomorrow's big final.  

With an excellent mix of exuberant youth and cool, calm, collected experience in the squad, Millbrae will be confident they can put on a great show for their travelling fans at Murrayfield.


Millbrae RFC:
15. Lee Mayne; 14. Chris Smith, 13. James Armstrong, 12. Nigel Howard, 11. Scott Cunningham; 10. David Courtney, 9. Max Pickles; 1. Ben Paterson, 2. Jim Lymburn, 3. Connor Mackie; 4. Josh Currie, 5. Jack Brown; 6. Alan Drennan, 7. Aiden Boyd, 8. Keith Hunter.

Replacements:
16. Ruairidh Sayce, 17. Alan McConnachie, 18. Alan MacGregor, 19. Gavin White, 20. Craig Steele, 21. Gibson Siwo, 22. Martin Watson.
