THE final series of Border League games played on Tuesday, March 9, saw the end of Duns' hopes for a bit of glory when they went down to Earlston 7-6, thus the Rhymers made sure of a Page play-off game against Yester, who came second in section two.
Title holders Coldstream at 7-3 over Kelso now face a Page game against Glendale, leaders of section two.
In section two, St Boswells going 9-3 up on Foulden saw the latter club in third spot; the other section two game involved Teviotdale at 9-3
over Lammermuir there by swapping eighth and ninth places in the section. The aforementioned Page play-offs will have taken place ere this article is printed, namely being played on Tuesday, March 16.
In progress just now is the Stewart salver with the semi-finals and finals late this week.
The come and try sessions held so far on Saturdays have been well supported, well done to the organisers and helpers; it must be hoped that the sparks of interest created are not diminished by the approaching season of longer days, sometimes known as summer.
Swinton CC held a very successful invitation Bonspiel on Saturday evening, with members from many clubs taking part.
Alistair Hodge showed his father, John, no mercy in taking the honours in a close series of games, with the ever dangerous Jim Clark in second spot. A well presented Beef and Greens plus, was the finishing touch on a cheery evening.
