This involvements payments of almost £30,000 to the clubs and schools that nurtured eight newcomers to the professional ranks this season.

 Iain Berthinussen (The Borders) - Langlee Primary School - £500; Gala Minis - £500; Galashiels Academy - £1250; Gala Red Triangle - £750; Gala Wanderers - £500; Gala - £1500.
