Lining up alongside the hosts will be Puffin Gannets (North Berwick), Mackie Mammoths and Dalkeith Auldtras.
Teams will be piped on to the field by Rory and Thomas Logg, sons of the late Northern playing stalwart and in the evening the scene will switch to Edinburgh Accies nearby clubhouse for a dinner.
