NORTH Berwick and Preston Lodge rugby clubs will begin their bid for National League Cup glory with home contests.

The competition has been split into various groups, with both county sides drawn in pools of three.

North Berwick will host Lasswade on August 31 while Preston Lodge welcome Berwick to East Lothian.

A second round of fixtures is due to take place on November 2, with both county clubs the odd teams out in their group.

Then, on December 14, North Berwick will travel to Linlithgow while Preston Lodge are away to Stewart’s Melville.
