GYTES GOSSIP - Peeblesshire News 28/9/07

Gala Day at Peebles

            Fans of a nervous disposition are advised to give the Gytes the widest berth possible tomorrow. For it's the venue for the top-of-the-table Scottish Hydro Electric Premier III clash between Peebles and Gala.

            Peebles may have run in 22 league tries already this term, but the Maroons have amassed bonus point wins in all four of their games.

            In comparison, the Piranhas' World Cup Festival curtain-raiser should provide an oasis of calm!

            Meanwhile, Peebles 2nds host Kelso at the High School, hoping for a repeat of their Border Farm Supplies league form in beating the Bears 34-11 at Berwick. Special mention goes to the versatile David Anderson and CORUS “Man of the Match” Paul Stewart.

            Elsewhere, Saturday's 19-14 Lochcarron league win over PSA is the first time Peebles Colts have won a league game against any Hawick team during Graeme and Rab’s coaching regime. Colts hope for friendly action this weekend.

            Lastly, personal thanks go to John Calder and the staff at Border Cabs for their continuing support of  "Gytes Gossip".

            There are of course many rugby fans at Border Cabs' office, including one who asked if I remembered Borders rugby icon of yesteryear, Charlie Drummond.

            Yes, but only just! And as Radio Borders pundit Bill Polson has confirmed, the Second World War restricted Charlie’s international cap tally to eleven.
