Berwick Rangers have been declared joint champions of the Border Amateur League South Section after the competition was disbanded due to financial constraints and a play-off against Duns was not played.

Why This Matters Now

The development arrives as the 2026/27 Lowland League East season where Berwick Rangers competes has not yet started, leaving all teams on zero points with no current amateur league standings available for Berwick. Local attention has turned to the recent outcome in the Border Amateur Football Association where another side, Berwick Town, lost 2-7 to Tweeddale Rovers. These events keep amateur football in the spotlight while higher-level fixtures remain on hold.

Key Statistics from Recent Seasons

In the 2023/24 Highland/Lowland season Berwick Rangers finished 13th with 42 points from 34 games. That performance provides the most recent full-season reference point ahead of the delayed new campaign. The disbandment of the Border Amateur League South Section removes any chance of further matches or a decisive play-off, shifting focus to how the club prepares for Lowland League East fixtures once they begin.

Looking Ahead

With the 2026/27 Lowland League East campaign still to open, Berwick Rangers and other local sides will turn to pre-season training and friendlies. Supporters can monitor updates through the official league table once matches commence, while the Border Amateur Football Association continues to publish results for remaining fixtures involving teams such as Berwick Town.
