Updated with Tuesday’s results: Wins for all three Borders teams in East of Scotland Football League action, with 16 goals scored

Division one’s Coldstream and the second division south-east conference’s Vale of Leithen both chalked up 4-0 home wins, against Fife’s Lochgelly Albert and Midlothian’s Dalkeith Thistle respectively, and the latter’s league rivals Linton Hotspur, also on home turf, got the better of Arniston Rangers by 5-3.

Stefan Kennedy, James Paxton, Connor Brian and Oliver Stewart scored for manager David Brown’s Streamers at Home Park.

On the scoresheet for opposite number Ger Rossi’s Vale, left outnumbered by a 76th-minute red card for Ross Nicholson, at Victoria Park were Scott Latto at the double, Louie Grahame and Kyle Kivlichan.

Netting for co-gaffers Ruairidh Fleming and Paul Currie’s Hotspur in West Linton, helped out by an own goal, were Ty McLean at the double, Robbie Renwick and Robbie Walker, with Stephen Anderson, Byron McKinley and Mason Thomas on target for their Midlothian opposition.

Vale and Hotspur’s south-east conference rivals Hawick Royal Albert were in action on Saturday too, losing 2-1 hosting the EoSFL premier division’s Penicuik Athletic in preliminary round one of this season’s Scottish Cup.

Connor Elliot scored for manager Kenny Aitchison’s hosts, with Niall Kemp and Daryl Healy netting in the other direction.

Albert also had a player red-carded but weren’t left short-handed as Paul Tansey had already been subsituted off, making way for Callum Summerbee, at the time of that sanction, issued over an altercation with a visiting supporter.

Coldstream and Hotspur were back on the ball on Tuesday in the East of Scotland Qualifying Cup’s second round, away to Fife’s Crossgates Primrose and Northumberland’s Berwick Rangers respectively and both going out.

The former’s second visit to Humbug Park in the space of a week went the way of their hosts by 5-3, with Layton Martin at the double, Lyle Kellichan, Aaron Wood and Dylan Geddes scoring for the Fifers.

The latter lost out 4-0 at Shielfield Park, with Danny Handling, Struan Mair, Josh O’Connor and Callum Mackay on target for their Scottish Lowland Football League hosts.

The Streamers return to Fife this coming Saturday to take on Glenrothes on league duty and Vale, Hotspur and Albert are all on the road too a division down, also for 2.30pm kick-offs – against Tweedmouth Rangers, Dalkeith and Edinburgh Community respectively.

Next week’s midweek fixture card for Tuesday takes Coldstream to Midlothian’s Easthouses Lily Miners’ Welfare, with kick-off at 7.30pm, and, quarter of an hour earlier, Vale to Edinburgh Community and Albert to Arniston.

Hotspur are at home to Edinburgh College a day later and that’s a 7.20pm kick-off.
