In Division 3B, Selkirk welcomed a very good Redhall side to Yarrow Park for which, in the early days of the season, could be labelled a top-of-the table clash.

Redhall were quick out the blocks with a goal in the opening minutes. Selkirk went through a very slow start as Redhall added a deserved second, with a great run down the wing, a pin-point cross and an easy tap in at the back post.

Selkirk were sparked into life before the end of the first half with a goal from Max Kellock. After a bit of a scramble in the box, the ball eventually fell to the feet of Max, who tucked it away nicely.

After a slow first half, the young Selkirk boys showed great attitude to get themselves back in the game. An equaliser came spectacularly from Ryan Cox from distance.

Selkirk ‘keeper Ben Garwood then produced an outstanding one-on-one save with a Redhall attacker.

Selkirk pushed for the winner while Redhall were always dangerous on the break.

However, the winning goal came from another strike from range through Ellis Brotherston.
