Irvine trip for Peebles

            Hoping to keep their unbeaten record away from home intact, Peebles travel to meet Irvine tomorrow.

            The Ayrshire lads may be 9th in the latest Premier III table, but it should be noted that they've scored 115 points in their last two games.

            And since the venue isn't far from Troon on the Costa Clyde, we wonder if such Ian Pemberton (Villeneuve Draw winner at Perth) and his golfing pals might be planning an early round prior to the Irvine game.

            Meanwhile, Allan Beveridge reports that Peebles 2nds lost Friday's league tussle with Hawick by 25-3.

            "But the score flatters them since we gifted our opponents 4 tries," says he. Peebles 2nds are away to Jed tomorrow.

            And Jed - in the shape of Thistle - also provide the Colts' opposition tomorrow. But Peebles is the venue. The development team is in action as well.

            Says Coach Graeme Paterson of the Colts' latest win, "We beat Tynedale 31-0 but were a bit rusty after our lay-off. Two of our tries came from Richard Scott."

            In his rugby development capacity, Graeme is seeking volunteers to help with High School teams on Saturday mornings and also with u-15s' and u-16s' coaching.

Phone him if you can help please on 0781-202-8172.

            Lastly George Shaw reports that, while the club treasurer Gerard Bony would have been saddened at France's World Cup exit on Saturday, there was consolation: For he'd earlier won the Laureate (Match Sponsors) Sweep at the Gytes when Neil Cruikshank scored the first try.
