Amateur League Context
Across the related Border Amateur League, no updated 2026 standings have been released. The league has instead recognised Vale of Leithen and Selkirk as joint-champions following the cancellation of a play-off involving Duns and Berwick Rangers. The absence of fresh tables means attention remains on the completed season results already recorded.
Recent Club Activity
