LAWRIE’S Garage, part of the Border Motor Group based in St Boswells, is once again sponsoring Selkirk Sevens, which takes place at Philiphaugh on Saturday, May 7.

This is the fourth year in succession the company has supported the event, and Lawrie’s sales manager David Henderson says the firm is delighted to be involved once again.

"We are very happy to continue our sponsorship,” said Mr Henderson, “and got a lot of positive feedback from last year’s event.

"The Selkirk tournament is one of the most popular on the Kings of the Sevens circuit, and Lawrie’s is pleased to be able to play a part in helping to enhance this reputation.”

Selkirk Rugby Club’s sevens convener is former Scotland internationalist John Rutherford, who said everyone at Philiphaugh was delighted to welcome Lawrie’s Garage back as the 2016 tournament’s sponsor.

“Having Lawrie’s Garage on board for the fourth year in a row has given the 2016 sevens a massive boost, and we’re delighted to be strengthening our ties with such a prestigious organisation as Lawrie’s Garage.

“We’ve again managed to attract an extremely strong line-up of teams, and are delighted to welcome guests Loughborough, who are coached by former Selkirk player Ciaran Beattie.”

Other guest sides include the Borders’ top clubs plus Edinburgh Accies, Watsonians, Stewart’s/Melville FP, Hamilton and Biggar.

Lawrie’s Garage is the only Volkswagen, SKODA and SEAT service and approved used car centre in the Scottish Borders offering the full range of cars for sale with the added support of the award-winning sales team.

Lawrie's Garage intends to have several of its cars on display at the Selkirk tournament.

The 2016 Selkirk Sevens, sponsored by Lawrie’s Garage, takes place at Philiphaugh on Saturday, May 7, with the first tie kicking off at 2pm.
