Sean Crombie made an instant impact for Selkirk during the Borderers’ barnstorming win over championship contenders Watsonians at Philiphaugh.

Against Edinburgh team-mate Kyle Traynor, hooker Crombie, who won the title last season with Boroughmuir, contributed a try in the 32-28 win over ‘Sonians.

Trailing 28-15 at half-time, after back-up squad player Torry Callender had scored one of four tries for the visitors, Selkirk staged a famous comeback to win their fourth game of the Scottish Hydro Electric Premier One season.

In a bad weekend for Edinburgh-based clubs, Currie, with Andrew Easson in the side, lost by a point to Glasgow Hawks at Malleny Park while Heriot’s were defeated at West of Scotland.

Edinburgh Academicals, without influential scrum half Greig Laidlaw, also lost at home; crashing to a 13-20 defeat against Melrose at Raeburn Place.

But champions Boroughmuir recorded a positive result for the capital’s teams with a 21-17 win over Bruce McNeil’s Hawick with back-up stand-off Rory Hutton scoring a conversion.
