@Source: thesouthernreporter.co.uk
Selkirk’s 34-15 victory at home to Hawick at Philiphaugh, accompanied by a 30-19 defeat for Melrose away to Kelso at Poynder Park, takes them eight points clear in pole position. Head coach Gordon Henderson’s Souters, targeting their second title in three years and eighth all told, are now on 16 points from four fixtures, twice as many as second-placed Gala and third-placed Melrose after four games and three respectively. Defending champions Hawick remain at the bottom of the table without any points after finally playing their first game of this campaign, over five months on from its launch last August. Kelso are fourth, on six points from two fixtures; Peebles fifth, on four from three; and Jed-Forest sixth, on two from four. One further fixture is scheduled to be played this month and that’s a stand-alone game for Arnold Clark National League Division 1’s Peebles at home to Kelso on Friday, February 21, with kick-off at 7.30pm. Five more are lined up for next month, two of them premiership double-headers – Hawick away to Kelso on Saturday, March 1, and then to Melrose on Saturday, March 22, both 3pm kick-offs. Those double-headers sandwich three stand-alone fixtures on Friday, March 7, pitting premiership teams against second-tier opposition – Hawick hosting Peebles, Gala away to Selkirk and Melrose at Jed-Forest, all 7.30pm kick-offs.
