🏀 BERWICKSHIRE BASKETBALL COMPETITION 2026 🏀

Last Wednesday 11th March, saw a total of 11 teams battle it out at Eyemouth High School for a place at the Borders Basketball Finals Day!

The teams were split into 2 pools and played each other in a round robin format over the course of the evening. The matches were gripping from the first whistle and there were some extremely close results throughout! 🥵

The conclusion of our round robin matches produced the following results for each pool:

POOL 🅰️
1st: Duns A (14 points / +34 GD)
2nd: Eyemouth A (14 points / +23 GD)
3rd: Chirnside B (10 points / +2 GD)
4th: Duns B (10 points / +1 GD)
5th: Greenlaw (7 points)
6th: Swinton A (5 points)

POOL 🅱️
1st: Eyemouth B (10 points / +14 GD)
2nd: Chirnside A (10 points / +6 GD))
3rd: Duns C (8 points / +8 GD)
4th: Eyemouth C (8 points / -2 GD)
5th: Swinton B (4 points)

The pool standings resulted in the semi-finals being fought out between Duns A and Chirnside A, and Eyemouth B and Eyemouth A, eventually ending in an Duns A vs Eyemouth A final - Duns A just edging it out in a closely-contested 4-0 victory 🏆

Congratulations to Duns A who progress through to our Borders Finals on Thursday 26th March at Queens Centre, Galashiels! A massive GOOD LUCK to them 🏀

Thank you to all our umpires, volunteers, parents, teachers and anyone else who helped to make the event a success! We couldn't have done it without you 👏

🌟 KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING, BERWICKSHIRE! 🌟

After an incredible turnout at the Berwickshire Cross Country Competition last week — with over 320 pupils giving it their all — now is the perfect time for young runners to keep building their confidence, fitness and love of running! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂

If your child enjoyed Cross Country, or if it sparked something new for them, why not try…

👉 EYEMOUTH PRIMARY PLAYING FIELDS JUNIOR PARKRUN

A free, fun and friendly weekly 2k event for all children aged 4–14. Held every Sunday at 9:30am in Eyemouth.

Junior parkrun is:
✨ Open to all abilities — run, jog or walk
✨ A great way to build on Cross Country progress
✨ Fully marshalled and safe for young runners
✨ A brilliant, pressure‑free way to stay active and enjoy being outdoors

Whether your child wants to get faster, stay active between school events, or simply enjoy running with friends each week, junior parkrun is an ideal next step. Many families even head to Giacopazzi’s afterwards for a post‑run treat! 🍦

And just like our Cross Country event, junior parkrun runs with the help of volunteers — so if you’re looking to support a brilliant community activity, there’s a place for you too.

👉 Find out more or sign up here:

Let’s keep the Cross Country spirit alive and support our young runners all year round! 💙
