Two teams will drop into the Third Division.

Tweedmouth Amateurs were 1-0 winners over Hawick United in the Border Amateur A Division.

Jack Sprot headed home a Sean Dixon cross in the second half to earn them the three points against the side sitting seven points above them in ninth, but the Ammies still occupy the second relegation place with only Hawick Waverley below them.

Third-placed Highfields United went down 4-2 at home to Earlston Rhymers while Berwick Town were involved in an amazing game in the B Division at Ancrum where it ended 5-5.
