Hawick Legion beat West Lothian’s Polbeth United 1-0 at home at the start of October to progress and Stow knocked out Fife’s St Monan’s Swallows 3-1 away in the cup’s first round at the start of September and Glasgow’s Summerston away by the same scoreline a month later.

Langlee Amateurs have a chance to go top of the A division if they can beat basement side Tweedmouth Amateurs in Stow at 2pm, current league leaders Duns Amateurs being out of action.

Langlee are currently second, with 13 points from six matches, two behind Duns but with a game in hand on them. Their Northumbrian opposition are yet to pick up any points this season after seven games.

Hawick Waverley are also – mathematically, at least – in with a chance of topping the table, but only if they can beat eighth-placed Newtown at home by an 11-goal margin and Langlee slip up.

Hawick Colts host Earlston Rhymers, Gala Hotspur are at home to Leithen Rovers and Ancrum are at Biggar United in the B division.
