Scotland's countdown to next year's European Junior Championships begins this weekend when the team face England at Glasgow's Kelvin Hall.

It is the first of a double-header with the English over two days and will determine how much work has to be done ahead of the European challenge in Cyprus at Easter.

Scotland have never taken part in the European Championships at junior level before and English will provide a stiff test.

Scotland's junior women's team - featuring six players from the South Ayrshire club - also take on England in a double header at the same venue this weekend.
