    Friday, October 13th, 2017

    Hawick Legion Rovers had plenty of men behind the ball in this attack, but they were still knocked out of the Border Cup by Duns.

    Friday, October 13th, 2017

    The date and venue is yet to be set, but the forthcoming Border Cup final is going to be an all-Hawick affair.

    On a wet and cold afternoon at Balgray, Hawick used the pain and embarrassment of the previous week’s mauling by Heriot’s as the brick wall off which they can bounce back stronger and better equipped to succeed in what is shaping up to be an almighty battle to avoid the drop. Gary Johnstone gave the...

    Friday, October 6th, 2017

    Hawick Harlequins travelled to Scremerston for what proved to be a keenlycontested game which swung in the balance right to the end, the visitors escaping with a win that keeps them top of the league by a point.

    Thomson shows his class with 40-yarder

    Friday, October 6th, 2017

    In a game that did not have a lot going for it, Hawick United returned to winning ways when a late Ross Scott goal snatched a 1-0 victory away to Stow.

    It was a meeting of the league leaders. The two respective sides were on equal points and everything pointed to this encounter being a closely-fought, tight affair. Hawick Waverley, however, blew this away by putting their Jedburgh opposition to the sword with a swashbuckling display. In the first period in particular the Wilton Lodge Park...
