​Greenlaw are up against Border Amateur Football Association A division table-toppers Langlee Amateurs for one semi-final this coming Saturday at Netherdale in Galashiels, and the other, pitting three-time winners Duns Amateurs against Lanark’s Kirkfield United, follows seven days later.

That’s a trophy Langlee – 2023’s beaten finalists, having lost out 3-2 to Lesmahagow after extra time in Innerleithen last April – have yet to win but their opponents have claimed it twice, in 1955 and 1956.
