Tayside Trip for Peebles
Off to meet Morgan in Dundee tomorrow are a Peebles side boosted by last
weekend’s super display against Ellon.
Seventh-placed Morgan also won on Saturday (24-11 at Livingston) and are
in a group of six clubs separated by only 9 points in the current Scottish Hydro
Electric Premier III table.
The six are headed by 3rd-placed Kirkcaldy whose home clash with league
leaders Gala is surely tomorrow’s Match of the Day.
Meanwhile Peebles 2nds, having already beaten Melrose at home this season
by 32-14, are hoping to ‘do the double’ when they visit Melrose tomorrow.
Peebles Colts too are on foreign turf for their Lochcarron league tussle
with Selkirk YC.
Kenny Clyde for the injured Rory Milne was the only change in a side that
went down 7-23 at Gala Wanderers last weekend.
Says coach Graeme Paterson, “We’ve no complaints at all about the
manner of our defeat, Gala played the better rugby.”
What does disappoint the coach though is the number of development team
players who failed to turn up last weekend without giving any reason.
Next, for those who have enquired, there’s good news of Craig Hunter
whose surgeon is apparently well-pleased with the winger’s progress since the
operation on his knee.
Lastly – but by no means least – club cameraman Donald Swanson
reports from his eyrie in the Gytes Gallery that he’s “very very pleased”
at the award he’s to receive at the end of November from the Torch Trophy
Trust in London for a lifetime of voluntary work at Peebles RFC.
What’s not clear though is whether Donald is more chuffed at the award
being presented by the Duke of Kent or at the prospect of meeting the Trust’s
honorary president, Bobby Charlton.
No need to take the camera though Donald, they’ll be filming you!
