Glasgow Hawks and Heriot's will contest the RBS Cup final at Broadwood Stadium on April 19 after they won their respective semi-finals yesterday.
Hawks beat Gala 33-31 in a cracker of a match at Netherdale, while Heriot's had a 20-16 away success against Aberdeen Grammar.
The first half in the Borders produced six tries, with Euan Dods touching down twice for the home side and Opeta Palepoi also going over, while Gavin Lowe, Haddon McPherson and Dan Smart scored for Hawks.
Gala led 24-19 at the interval and when David O'Hagen went over for their fourth try, which he also converted, the Maroons were 31-19 to the good.
However, Hawks were not going to be shaken off that easily and an unconverted try and two penalties put them just a point behind at 31-30.
A frantic last 10 minutes followed, but Hawks snatched victory when Jack Steele kicked a long-range penalty in the dying seconds.
In the other semi-final at Rubislaw, a converted try by Glasgow Warriors' Byron McGuigan put Aberdeen 7-0 up. Graham Wilson replied with two penalties before Rob Aloe's penalty gave the hosts a 10-6 lead. Heriot's scored a converted try before the interval though and went on to take control.
Caithness will play Preston Lodge in the Shield final and Highland and St Boswells will meet in the Bowl final.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
