Batting first, the hosts finished on 125-5, built around a solid third wicket partnership between Blaine Gillie (32) and David Gardiner (22). Michael Fenton (17) and Rory Banks (15) added valuable runs at the top of the order.

Hawick bowlers Johnston, Stewart, Brogan and Martin all took a wicket apiece.

In reply, the visitors got off to a flying start thanks to quick-fire knocks from Ryan Johnston (30) and Justin Tait (31). However, after their dismissals, wickets began to fall at regular intervals.

Hawick were eventually all out for 107 in the 20th over, which was bowled by young Michael Gillie, who finished with impressive figures of 2-6.

However, the home side’s top bowler by some distance was Ewan Torrance (4-8), while Selkirk’s other wicket-takers were David Gardiner (2-15), Liam Skeldon (1-10) and Daniel Heard (1-16).
