Scottish Cup Final
16:00 Bromac Kelburne v Edinburgh University

The Paisley side endured a tense, tough battle against Grove Menzieshill, eventually sealing a place in Saturday’s showpiece after winning the semi-final on penalties.
However, they must take on an Edinburgh University side who cruised through their last four encounter against PSL Team Sport Clydesdale by a 5-1 scoreline.
This season’s league encounters between the two teams suggest the final will be a close run affair, Kelburne winning by a 2-0 margin at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre last October, only for the University to make home advantage count in a 2-1 win shortly before the winter break.
Scottish Plate Final
14:00 Granite City Wanderers v Falkirk GHG
A clash of two Division 2 teams awaits in the Scottish Plate Final.

Falkirk GHG will consider their place in the final well-earned after coming back from two goals down to take rivals Erskine Stewart’s Melville FP to a penalty shoot-out, where they triumphed by a comfortable 3-0 outcome.
With Wanderers having narrowly defeated Falkirk by the odd goal in this season’s only league encounter, the Aberdonians might just have the edge, but only by a whisker.
District Cup Final

Midland’s Grove Menzieshill II face up to the challenge of Q-Bikes Kelburne II in the Men’s District Cup Final.
