THE sun was shining over Netherdale on Sunday where there was much more than just rugby going on...

The Braw Lads Sports Day saw talented young athletes from primary schools across the Borders descend on the Gala rugby ground for a day of fun-filled, healthy competition. 

The Braw Lad and Braw Lass Mark and Alex, and the Principals, were there to hand out the medals and congratulate the young sportsmen and women.

And, aside from the races there was much more to keep everybody entertained from pony rides, to five-a-side football, and that old favourite: the Punch and Judy Show.
