Arnold Clark Men’s Premierships Feature Match: Currie Chieftains v Kelso

The two sides last met at Poynder Park in October where the hosts won 34-26.

This weekend, Currie will be hungry to finish their group stage fixtures with a statement and firm up their position in second place after a 29–24 defeat to GHA last weekend.

Kelso, meanwhile, are coming off a challenging defeat to league leaders Ayr and will be looking to get back to winning ways. A win could potentially shoot them up the table due to a mostly identical 40-point record for the teams making up the mid-table.

Three things to look out for this weekend

• When Glasgow Hawks and Heriot’s played earlier in the season, the Glasgow side won the encounter 33-26. Currently on a two-game winning streak, Hawks will be eager to continue their momentum.
• Melrose take on Borders rivals Hawick at home. Both teams are currently tied on 37 points going into the fixture, so the mid-table could see another shake-up.
• One point separates GHA and Watsonians in the table, so a riveting encounter awaits at Myreside.
