Borders athletes hoping to follow up Forth Valley youth league success in east district cross-country campaign
The young Borderers – aged from under-11 to under-15 – won all three of the league's division-one shields and their first overall title for three years following a three-meeting season concluding at Grangemouth at the end of August, and they’re now looking to build on that success in events ahead including the upcoming Scottish east district cross-country league season.
