@Source: thesouthernreporter.co.uk
Four of those last-eight ties are in the Forsyth Cup, with the other two in the Waddell Cup. The former see Leithen Rovers hosting Jed Legion, Gala Hotspur at home to Chirnside United, Hawick United away to Highfields United in Berwick and Langholm Legion at Biggar United. The latter take Selkirk Victoria to Earlston Rhymers and Tweedmouth Amateurs to Tweeddale Rovers. Saturday’s last-four tie will see Gala Fairydean Rovers Amateurs play Duns Amateurs at Selkirk’s Yarrow Park in the South of Scotland Amateur Cup, with the latter targeting a winning double for the season against their lower-league opponents after beating them 7-1 on the road in October in the Colin Campbell Cup’s second round. The winner of that one will go on to play either Lanark’s Kirkfield United, its current holders, or Highfields United in the final, though their semi has yet to be arranged. Duns are in further trophy action next Friday, March 28, taking on Chirnside at Hawick in this year’s Colin Campbell Cup final, with kick-off at 7.30pm. Three league fixtures are lined up for this weekend too and they’ll see A division table-toppers Langlee Amateurs at home to Eyemouth United Amateurs, plus, a division down, Kelso Thistle hosting Coldstream Amateurs and St Boswells away to Stow. Langlee go into their game a dozen points clear of Duns in pole position, on 43 points from 15 fixtures to the Dingers’ 31 from 12. This Saturday’s fixtures are all due to kick off at 2pm.
