That was the 35-year-old’s second success at Peebles’ games on the trot after winning last year’s 267m race, from a mark of 41m, in 29.76 seconds.

Half of the evening’s junior races were won by Kelso competitors, brothers Lewis and Harry Fleming.

The former won the 90m youth race in 10.5 seconds, from a 16m mark, and the latter, following up his victory over 800m at Hawick Border Games three days previously, came up trumps over 267m in 32.63 seconds, from 72m.

Hawick’s Alfie Walker was runner-up, from 210m, and Berwick’s Tom Sangster was third, from 200m.
