*********************
Past Players head across The Irish Sea
Past Players visited Ulster at the weekend, not
to play rugby but to accept a kind donation from a club wishing to help a charity close to home here in the Scottish
Borders.
Scott McColm, Bryan Hoggan and Ali Heatlie travelled to Dromore Rugby Club to attend the game between Dromore XV
versus Grosvenor XV which resulted in a hard fought 12-7 win for the home team.
After the game Ex Captain McColm, who was a team mate of Doddie Weir in the South of Scotland team, accepted a
cheque for over £1000 for the MND Foundation. The money was raised from various functions held at the club
along with a kind donation from the Harshaw family.
A huge thank you must go to the community of Dromore and the surrounding area who helped raise this magnificent
total.

Selkirk 'A' 14 - Biggar 2nds 19

Conditions were far from ideal as both teams looked
to secure points in this Tennants National Reserve League Division 2 encounter.Selkirk A faced the wind in the
first half with the forwards dominating up front with a series of pick and drives. Forcing Biggar onto the back
foot a try seemed forthcoming and was soon delivered when veteran stand off David Cassidy sliced through the opposition
defence with a deft show of pace and guile to put the home team in front. Cassidy coverted his own try to put Selkirk
in an early lead 7-0. With the wind and rain increasing to their advantage, Biggar pinned Selkirk back into their
own half and after some neat interplay from their backs, Biggar got on the scoreboard with an unconverted try.
Ex Club Captain Scott Tomlinson brought all his experience at scrum half to keep both the pack going forward and
the back line moving, with Kieran Monks on the wing making hard yards after returning this week from New Zealand.
However with halftime approaching Biggar once again managed to break through the Selkirk defence to score a converted
try to bring the score to 7-12 for the visitors at the half time whistle.
Selkirk started strongly in the second half with Harry Borthwick carrying well up front along with prop Matthew
Francis.
With both teams tiring,holes were appearing in both defences and it was Selkirk who breached the line first. A
kick ahead by Callum Anderson looked to be rolling dead, but with a mix up in defence, young Anderson pounced to
make his scoring debut at Philiphaugh with a well taken try. With a difficult conversion to come Scott Clark, just
back from injury, calmly slotted the kick from out wide to give the Souters a 14-12 lead going into the last period
of the game.
Sustained pressure from Biggar continued with Selkirk conceding numerous penalties, and after a warning from the
referee the inevitable happened and Biggar were awarded the penalty try, with Ruairi Wilson receiving a yellow
card in the process after a high tackle prevented the visitors a score.
With time running out the Referee blew for full time, with Selkirk's only reward being a losing bonus point.
Final score 14-19
