Watsonians are the winners.

The capital side won five individual rounds over the course of the tournament, as Edinburgh clubs dominated this year. Among the Borders sides, Melrose won the opening contest at Peebles back in August, while Jed reached the final of their own tournament last weekend. Here’s a look at some of the best of the action.
