Cricket Scotland is delighted to announce the school cricket programme for the 2024 season, which includes the Inspiresport Scottish Schools Cups and the Schools Week of Cricket.
The Inspiresport Scottish Schools Cup programme now comprises four cup competitions, with the addition of the Girls’ U15 T10 to the Girls’ U18 and Boys’ U18/U15 T20 formats.
Blairgowrie High School and Bell Baxter High School are competing in the U15 Boys' age group for the first time, and the new U15 Girls' T10 competition has attracted 13 schools in its inaugural year.
Steve Butchart, Managing Director at inspiresport, said, 'We're delighted to be associated with the Scottish Cups for this season.' As the primary provider of sports development tours for schools and youth clubs in the UK, we are excited to participate in this great event and encourage young players to take part in this fantastic cricket tournament.
The competitions begin in April, with the U15 cup finals taking place on Friday 15 June and the U18 competitions on Saturday, June 16.
Before these finals, Cricket Scotland's Schools Week of Cricket will start on Wednesday, June 12 at North Inch Park in Perth, with the primary school boys and girls six-a-side soft ball competitions.
These will be followed by the S1-S3 boys and girls eight-a-side soft ball competitions on Thursday, June 13.
For the first time, we will host a Schools Disability Cricket Cup for both learning and physical disabilities on Tuesday, June 11.
