The 2000 boy's competition finals were played on pitch 6 with Renfrew Victoria YFC and Mill United playing first, before Dundee West took on Burnhead Colts. The Plate final was contested well by both teams, but it was Mill United who won in emphatic fashion, with a 4-0 win. Goals from DJ Moody, Shaun O'Donnell and a double from Liam McGuigan secured a final victory for United.

Dundee West and Burnhead Colts then battled it out for 2000 Cup Final. This game was probably the most entertaining and competitive match out of the whole day. With the final score at 2-2, thanks to goals from Darren Park and Jack Adam scored for Burnhead Colts whilst Ross Jamieson and Robbie Fleming netted for Dundee. The match was then decided on penalties, and it was Burnhead who won 6-5 with Dundee left broken hearted.

The matches on pitch seven were also fairly entertaining, with one of them going to another penalty conclusion. EK Hotspur and Girvan Youth battled it out first before Syngenta Juveniles FC and Craigie United took their match to the death.

EK Hotspur and Girvan Youth contested the Plate Final first, with Girvan winning 2-1 with goals from Jamie Dorrans and Ross Kelly getting the goals.

Syngenta Juveniles FC and Craigie United's tie would have to be settled by penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Tony Mutiny scored for Craigie whilst Dom Croy netted for Syngenta. But it was Craigie who emerged victorious with a 4-3 win in the shoot-out.
