The Scottish amateur coaches will by there to cast an eye over the talent.
The coaches will also be visiting games in both divisions to talent spot. I
know the Lomond 7s are on the same day but the Dumbarton lads will be

Conference is split into two divisions this season. Fife may have to play
some games on a Sunday - please check beforehand. |
