Melrose 14 Peebles 7

Never having won at The Greenyards Peebles started off this "Southern Reporter" Border League match as if they intended to change that. After a quarter of an hour Calum Farmer crossed for a try converted by Craig Borthwick. Despite the efforts of both teams there was no further scoring in the first half.
Half time - Melrose 0 Peebles 7.
Twenty three minutes of the second half elapsed before the scoreboard was troubled again. This time it was youngster Douglas Ledingham who scored a try with Scott Wight converting to level the scores. Five minutes before "no-side" scrum half Scott McCormick nipped over for a try and Wight's conversion ended the scoring.
