Earlston High booked their place in the final of the Brewin Dolphin Scottish Schools under-18 Plate after defeating Madras College 23-7 at Myreside yesterday but now have just a day to recover before facing Carrick Academy tomorrow at Murrayfield.
Earlston had asked that the final be put back to allow sufficient recovery time for the players but this request was refused.
The situation is even more acute for Earlston because the majority of their team play for Melrose Wasps, who are still involved in the National Youth Cup.
