Twenty teams will descend on Murrayfield this Sunday (25 March) for National Midi Finals Day. The tournament will see eight sides represent the S1 age-group, eight teams represent S2, two sides complete in the under-15 final and two further teams battle it out in the under-16 final.

The competing S1 and S2 teams have won their way to Murrayfield through district qualifiers held in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Borders and Caledonia. The under-15 and under-16 finalists are the winners of district leagues followed by national play-offs.

Sunday’s event kicks off with the S1 quarter-finals at 11am and culminates with the under-16 final on the international pitch at 5.10pm. All four finals at S1, S2, under-15 and under-16 age-groups will be played on the international pitch. Entry to the event is FREE.
