Wins by matching 4-2 scorelines on Saturday left Langlee Amateurs and Greenlaw level on seven points at the top of the Border Amateur Football Association’s A division, with the Galashiels side taking pole position by virtue of a goal difference one better than their Berwickshire rivals.

Langlee, last season’s A division runners-up, won away to Tweeddale Rovers and Greenlaw got the better of Earlston Rhymers on home turf.

Langlee’s scorers at Peebles’ Kerfield Park were Jack Hay at the double and Des Sutherland, with an own goal adding to their tally and Lewis Swan and Lewis Grandison on target for their hosts.

Greenlaw’s goals were scored by William and Ross Smillie, Sean Spoor and Michael Macpherson, with Phil Addison and Siris Davidson replying for Rhymers.

Beating Chirnside United 2-0 at home, thanks to goals from Conor Devaney and Sean Phillips, left defending champions Duns Amateurs in third place, level on six points with fourth-placed Biggar United and fifth-placed Newtown.

Biggar won 5-2 at Tweedmouth Amateurs and Newtown lost 2-0 at Hawick Waverley, Elliot Stanger and Jordan Steele scoring for their hosts at Wilton Lodge Park.

The division’s other fixture at the weekend was a 6-2 defeat for Hawick Legion at Langholm Legion, with Cole Hamilton at the double, Craig Cuthbert, Brian Mattinson, captain Lee Irving and Andrew Whittall on target for the hosts and Liam Lavery and Adamo Antonacci for their visitors.
