Melrose V Kelso 1962 - Earlston Scramble

Rugby match between Melrose and Kelso, and a motorbike scramble across a golf course. This clip opens on a a sign announcing the Burgh of Melrose. A view of Melrose Abbey follows before we cut to some street scenes. We then watch as people begin making their way to watch the rugby match. Footage of the match follows. A newspaper board is shown, with information about an upcoming motorcycle race at the Old Golf Course, Earlston. We see the racers set off and see them again at various points of the track. We watch one of the riders refil an oil tank, before a warning notice - declaring that spectators are admitted at their own risk - is presented. Further race footage follows as we watch one race come to an end, and another begin. Spectators are shown, watching and filming the action. The clip comes to an end with some brief footage of some of the riders at refreshment tents.
