Dingers rack up second trophy quadruple on bounce
Duns Amateurs racked up a trophy quadruple for the second season running by edging out Eyemouth United Amateurs 2-1 in this term’s Border Cup final last Friday.
Their scorers at Chirnside’s Comrades’ Park were Kieran Cromarty and Gregor Watson after Ross Aitchison had given the Fishermen a 1-0 half-time lead.
Their latest Border Cup win is their sixth and their third in the last four years, following prior ones in 1989, 1993, 1999, 2023 and 2025.
It’s their fourth piece of silverware of the season after claiming the Border Amateur Football Association’s A division title for the ninth time and also collecting the South of Scotland Amateur Cup and Colin Campbell Cup, both for the second year on the bounce.
They secured the former cup for the fifth time by beating Tweeddale Rovers 2-1 at the start of May and the latter for the second by seeing off Kelso Thistle 3-1 last month, both in Coldstream.
Four pieces of silverware this campaign matches their tally for last term, the other trophy they picked up that time round being the Waddell Cup.
They wrap up their season at home to Tweeddale this Friday, with kick-off at New Hawthorn Park at 7pm, and they go into that game 11 points clear of their visitors at the top of the table, on 56 points from 21 fixtures.
Tweeddale are on 45 from 21 after losing 5-1 at home to Kelso Thistle on Saturday.
That was one of two top-flight games played that day, the other being a 5-2 win for Greenlaw hosting Hawick United.
Kelso play Earlston Rhymers in this year’s Waddell Cup final in Greenlaw this Saturday at 2pm.
