Borders trio in BT Cup quarter-finals
Yesterday’s draw for the ties in the last eight, to be played on Saturday, March 4, paired Jammy McFarlane’s troops with the high-flying Premiership side.
Jed gained a walkover from the last 16 when scheduled opponents, Aberdeenshire, withdrew from the tournament because of a shortage of squad members.

Also hoping to ensure a Borders representation in the later stages are Gala, who face a difficult visit to Glasgow Hawks, and Melrose, who are at home against Heriot’s.
The remaining tie sees Sirling County at home to Boroughmuir.
