Scotland will square off against the Auld Enemy for UK School Games glory after victories against Wales and Northern Ireland in Cardiff.

Having cruised to an emphatic 4-1 victory over Northern Ireland, Scotland clinched a hard-fought 3-2 win over Wales, courtesy of a superb mixed doubles performance from Kilmarnock's Lewis Gallacher and Glasgow's Caitlin Pringle.

England also eased to victory over Northern Ireland, but came unstuck against Wales, going down 3-2 to the hosts.

That means all Scotland have to do to lift the crown is clinch victory over England, while a 3-2 defeat would result in a three-way tie between Scotland, England and Wales.

The individual events get underway on Saturday as Scotland bid to improve on their haul of six medal, a gold, two silver and three bronze, from last year.

Kirsty Gilmour will also be bidding to retain her doubles title and upgrade her 2008 individual silver to gold.
