listing Borders rugby fixtures for 1924-25 and 1925-26
Published by the Edinburgh Evening News, these booklets list the rugby internationals for the years concerned as well as the fixtures of all the main Borders teams. The first picture is the cover of the book for 1925-26, which shows the teams listed inside.
The second picture is the centre pages from the 1924-25 book, showing photographs of some of the players imposed on drawn caricature bodies, being encouraged in the game by the crowd shouting advice such as, 'Never mind the ba'! Get on wi' the game.'
The books also list the Border League Champions over the years - in both books, Hawick are the reigning champions. Some suggest that rugby began in the Borders, its rules later being adopted by Rugby School. Certainly the popularity and spirit of the Borders game seems to be descended from their traditional 'Ba' Games', which involved the spectators almost as much as the players.
ITV Border's Sandy McCracken arrived at the cottage with cameraman Paul yesterday to film a short piece for the ITV programme "Border Life". The sun shone brightly and the Cruck Cottage looked fantastic following the recent repairs carried out to the thatched roof and having been freshly lime washed by our army of community volunteers.
Once again local residents came along to help us make this another "special" occasion, becoming the audience for the day. Interviews were given by Michael, Willie and Bill Lawson providing an insight into the Cruck Cottages past, present and future - they were excellent.
Our thanks to all those who once again gave their time to help us - it is, as always, greatly appreciated!

Rory likes to get Pixie to chase him. He's much faster than her, so he has to stop and let her catch up.
