GYTES GOSSIP
(PN 26 December 2008)
Once Peebles started scoring on
Saturday it looked like 15 month home record was going to survive the assault by
top of the table Dundee and there was a buzz from The Gytes faithful as the
Tweed Homes men opened up a 10 point lead early in the second half when the
visitors had a player sin binned. Shortly thereafter a second sin binning and
buzz was turning to belief but when the Dundee standoff pounced onto a loose
ball and hacked all the way up the pitch to score near the posts followed by the
conversion, reducing the difference to 2, the disbelief set in. Another try put
Dundee ahead and even the losing bonus disappeared as a converted try was scored
on full time and the unbeaten home run ended in disappointment and no points.
With Christmas over, and the
New Year closing, the firsts look forward to a 2 week break before they start
their cup campaign on 10th January away to Whitecraigs who currently
lead Scottish Hydro Electric National 2. Training will however continue on
Tuesdays at The Gytes.

The seconds had a break last
week, but will have a festive game against Biggar tomorrow at The Gytes; KO 2.00
PM, whilst the colts have an away game at Langholm.
Ex Peebles and now Melrose
regular Scott McCormick has been selected for the forthcoming club
internationals season which kicks off in Rouen on Friday 13th
February.
..... and finally the Boxing
day disco for members and guests takes place in the club tonight for over 18s
only, and the club will be open on hogmanay until midnight.
Have a good New Year
