On Monday Chirnside's Playball!! project was featured on Borders Television's Lookaround programme alongside a primary school project at Monaivie and both competed for viewers' votes.
Then on Tuesday two Berwickshire projects were unfortunately put head to head for viewers votes, and although Coldstream residents were over the moon at winning, they were sorry to see their neighbours Coldingham lose out.
Television cameras were at Chirnside Primary School on Tuesday evening when the result of the previous day's vote was announced live on Lookaround, and they were back in Berwickshire on Wednesday evening, this time at Coldstream Community Centre, to see the second £80,000 cheque of the week being handed over to a very enthusiastic crowd.
Over the last two years the People's Millions regional awards contest has given £7.2 million to 139 UK good causes and 350,000 people have voted for their favourite project.This year 90 awards were up for grabs across the UK, four winners plus one bonus award in each of the 18 ITV regions.
For Chirnside the long wait for a floodlit sports pitch is over and the £75,000 from the Big Lottery Fund will end a 17 year struggle for a multi-purpose pitch in the village.
Tanya Easton, youth development worker at Chirnside Community Centre, said: "We are thrilled. It is great for the community to realise what they can achieve if you work together.
"This was been 17 years in the waiting. People say there are facilities at Duns and Berwick but if a child has to use the bus they are not able to use them in the evenings."
The £75,000 must be spent by September next year but Tanya Easton hopes the new pitch, which will be adjacent to Chirnside Primary School, will be ready to use a considerable time before then.
"This project has seen young people involved in the marketing and people willingly promoting the project in other towns. The project is fabulous and we are looking forward to getting it built."
Tanya Easton also thanked the support received throughout the Borders for their project, including the Education and Lifelong Learning department at Scottish Borders Council.
At Coldstream, the tension was palpable on Wednesday evening as the supporters of Coldstream Community Centre waited to hear if they were finally going to finish the project started nine years ago, and the roar that went up when they were announced as winners was deafening.
Back in 1998, Coldstream residents agreed to buy the redundant St. Cuthbert's Church from the Church of Scotland to convert into a community centre and youth club, the main hall being the big attraction as the town had nowhere of a similar size to hold large functions.
Since then an enormous amount of time has been spent in making the building wind and watertight, converting a first floor area into a youth club and after school club, installing new toilets, renovating the small hall, putting in a new kitchen and most recently central heating - and during all that time fund raising continued and grant applications were applied for. The £80,000 People's Millions grant will complete the refurbishment of the main hall and allow a storage area to be added at the back of the building.
An emotional Jock Law who has taken over the helm as chairman of the Coldstream Community Centre committee, and who has personally put in many hundreds of hours of work thanked everyone who had worked so hard, everyone who had voted, and wished Coldingham well for Friday, when they have the chance to win the final £80,000 grant from the Borders area if they turn out to have the highest number of votes from the four losing finalists.
