1924–25 Scottish Districts season

It was noted that the Glasgow Trial match, between Blues and Whites, normally found in January, was dropped from the fixture list.

[2] The Blues Trial versus Whites Trial match was originally planned to be a Scotland Probables versus Scotland Possibles match.

The trial match was a strange one; the Whites were winning 12 - nil at half time, scoring 4 unconverted tries in the process.

Then the Whites centre pairing of Waddell and Nelson moved into the Blues side for the second half, with the Hawick pair of Bowie and Scott going in the opposite direction.

Waddell and Nelson played the match superbly; and got the Blues going in the second half.

That meant that J. C. Dykes and N. Macpherson were promoted to the Probables from the Possibles; and J.
