GYTES GOSSIP (PN 21 August 2009)

By now the Preston Lodge game will be over. Apologies if you used the wrong KO time I put in last week and arrived 4 ½ hours early. It was of course an evening game at The Gytes where the pitch is looking well maintained thanks to all the maintenance work that has been carried out over the summer by SBC and the club, unlike Hay Lodge which took a bit of a pounding again at the weekend. We will now have to see what remediation will be needed to allow play there this season.

The first seven made the semi finals at Kelso. They beating Howe of Fife and Selkirk before coming up against eventual winners Melrose giving them their closest game of the day by scoring more points than the combined total of Melrose’s other oppositions, Langholm, Gala and Jed who only managed 14 between them compared with Peebles’ 19.

The colts’ first game at Portobello had to be cancelled,
