GYTES GOSSIP
(PN 5 December 2008)
The weather spoilt the party
last week with the thirds still not getting their first start of the season, the
colts’ Lochcarron Semi Junior League game against Selkirk Youth Club and the
U16s cup game against Dumfries suffering from the freezing conditions at
Selkirk, Peebles and Peebles respectively.
The main game of the weekend,
however, did take place after a pitch inspection at 10 AM and a second 10
minutes before kickoff at Braidholm from whence the 1sts came away with their
second away win and a 4 try bonus point to boot, courtesy of the brothers
Anderson, David Paton and new boy Steven Groat who grabbed the fourth minutes
after coming on as substitute. With Gala losing and several other games being
postponed, there is now a small gap appearing between Peebles in 4th
and the chasing teams, whilst a higher final place in the league is within
reach.
Weather permitting, tomorrow
sees Kelso return to the Gytes for a 3.00 PM start in Scottish Hydro Electric
Premier 3. At Poynder Park earlier in the season the result was a 21 all draw
and Peebles will have to be on the ball to maintain their home run.
The seconds travel to bottom
placed Berwick for a Border Farm Supplies Championship match and the colts
travel to Jedburgh to play Jed Thistle. The U16s have an early start with a game
at Peebles High School against Dunbar GS U16.
Festive entertainment details
are now appearing on the web site at
http://www.peeblesrfc.org/ (Events – Social Events) which will be updated as
arrangements are finalised. Members can of course book the club for their own
function, details available from the web site or from the Eastgate Clubrooms.
