That’s the same tally as eighth-placed Rovers but the Peebles side have played one more game.

Hawick lost 5-3 to Stirling University last Saturday, and Peebles were also unlucky on their travels, going down 2-1 to Burntisland Shipyard up in Fife.

The Borders’ other side in the conference, Eyemouth United, have a trip to Preston Athletic lined up next Tuesday at 7.30pm.

Hawick’s scorers on Saturday were Lewis Swaney, Macauley Steele and Greg Ford.

Peebles Rovers’ scorer at the weekend was Harry McGill on seven minutes, though the Fife side equalised two minutes later then took a winning lead with a penalty two minutes from the end of normal time, almost half an hour after the visitors’ Gary Tickle was sent off for a second yellow card.
