Rugby union competition Scotland Caledonia Scottish Borders 6 1998-99 Scottish Inter-District Championship 2000–01 Amateur Scottish Inter-District ChampionshipSCO WAL 2000–01 Welsh-Scottish League The 1999–2000 Amateur Scottish Inter-District Championship was a rugby union competition for Scotland's amateur district teams. The professional game in Scotland saw the merging of the 4 districts into 2 in 1998; now only Glasgow Caledonians and Edinburgh Reivers were involved in the professional Scottish Inter-District Championship as a renamed Tri-Series. The Glasgow and Edinburgh sides were also involved in the Welsh-Scottish League. "When we changed from four to two districts, the top of the tree was lopped off," Jim Telfer said.Hello http://www.scotsman.com/sport/rugby-union/inter-district-campaign-has-professional-intent-1-480810 Inter District campaign has professional intent The Scotsman 2000-04-12 2017-07-17 The SRU decided to re-instate the Inter-District Championship at amateur level with the traditional amateur districts of Glasgow District, Edinburgh District, South and North and Midlands. The North and Midlands district was renamed Caledonia to tie in with the disbanded professional side Caledonia Reds and the South district was renamed Scottish Borders to tie in with the disbanded professional side Border Reivers. "In launching this championship I think it has put the top of the tree back and it is a chance for the best young players in the clubs to aspire to the next rung of the ladder. There is a gap between the top of the club game and the professional tier and the championship is an opportunity to try to bridge that gap." 1999-2000 League Table TeamPWDLPFPA+/-TBPLBPPts Caledonia330011379+343015 Scottish Borders320111283+292010 Edinburgh District310290118-28116 Glasgow District300372107-35224 Results Round 1 26 April 2000postponed to15 May 2000 7pm (1BP) Edinburgh District SCO 37 – 35 Report SCO Glasgow District (2BP) DuncanMcCallumMcVieArmstrong Ross x 4 Ross x 2 Ross McKayHendersonThomsonPriceDuffy Duffy x 2 Duffy x 2 Murrayfield Stadium J Steele (Dumfries) Edinburgh District: M Duncan (Currie); C Keenan (Heriot's FP), G Kiddie, L Graham (both Boroughmuir), S Walker (N Armstrong Currie 20); G Ross (both Heriot's FP), C Black (Watsonians); J Bryce (captain, Heriot's FP), L Barrett, C Black (both Currie), (D Wilson, Currie, 78), G McCallum (Boroughmuir), C Harrison (Edinburgh Accies), T McVie (Heriot's FP), N Penny (Watsonians) (O Brown, Boroughmuir, 49), E McDonald (Boroughmuir) (D Boswall, Heriot's, 18).
