BROTHERS Tom and Ben Grindell helped Kelso cement their place at the top of the East of Scotland First Division.

And their partnership at the crease also condemned Dunnikier to their first defeat.

The home side opted to bat first and after a sticky start reached 131 from their 50 overs.

Kelso’s chase took a while to get going after two early LBW decisions.

But Tom Grindell’s 44 and brother Ben’s 32 saw the Twedsiders glide past the target with three overs and a wicket to spare.
