First victory at Langholm since 1925!

Selkirk won the Scott Cup by winning the Langholm 7's yesterday for the first time since 1925.

Selkirk's impressive journey to the final started with a first round win over Carlisle in scoring 50 points without reply before seeing off Watsonians 24-17 in the Quarter Final and Jed-Forest 33-10 in the Semi Final before meeting Edinburgh Accies in the Final.

Accies were equally impressive in getting to the Final as they despatched the home side 54-10 (Langholm tries from Scott Howatson & Steven Nicol) before beating Melrose 17-14 in the Quarter Final and Gala 22-19 in the Semi Final, after coming back from being 12-5 down at half time.

The bruising quarter final and semi final ties looked to have taken their toll on the Accies side as Selkirk were worthy winners 36-10 in the Final.

All day Selkirk had looked like the team to beat as they played solid rugby, looked and played like a team that had been training together well and fully deserved their first victory at Langholm since 1925.

Player of the tournament, picked by the referee's went to Selkirk's Darren Clapperton.
