Welcome to our coverage of the Scottish hockey men's cup final between Western Wildcats and Hillhead.
Should Western win they would have completed this season unbeaten - both the indoor and outdoor.
Hillhead face a stern test in their cup final debut as they face Western Wildcats who have won the trophy nine times, the last in 2011.
There is also the possibility of a league and cup doubles should Western Wildcats prevail.
Rob Harwood, Western`s captain, knows this would be a significant victory for the club.
"Winning the Scottish Cup means a great deal, not only to our team but to the club as a whole," he said. "Our last cup victory was in 2011 and we haven’t reached a final since. To round off what has been an excellent season completing the treble undefeated would be unbelievable."
Hillhead captain Fraser Ward said today's final "means a lot for the club."
It shows the club`s ambition and intentions for years to come," he added. "This team has set the precedent for future years. We know the full club is behind us."
