GYTES GOSSIP
(PN 13 November 2009)
For the second
week running, Peebles dominated territory in Scottish Hydro Premier 2, but
failed to win. Peebles were camped in the Kirkcaldy half for much of the first
35 minutes, only turnovers, spilled passes and forward passes limiting them to a
single converted try. They conceded a try just before half time which spurred
Kirkcaldy on and whilst they controlled much of the second half, the Gytes men
were limited to a solitary penalty. A poignant Kirkcaldy statement “The visitors
were at the end let down by inaccurate passing which just allowed Kirkcaldy
defenders to get in place and several times overlaps were wasted.” Food for
thought.
Tomorrow there is a midday kick off, again in Fife when bottom of the table
Dunfermline host the Tweed Homes men. As the second half of the league campaign
gets underway, Peebles will be looking to end their run of defeats that started
at Bridgehaugh.
Scotland A
play Tonga at Netherdale on Friday 20th KO 7.30 PM with free entry.
To avoid
conflict the Border League fixture against Melrose has been changed to Thursday
19th at 7.30 PM.
The seconds at
Hay Lodge were 38 points to nil down at half time, then started playing, and
drew the second half 0-0 against Kelso. There must be a moral there somewhere.
Tonight they visit Riverside Park for a 7.30 PM kick off under lights in the
Border Farm Supplies Championship.
The colts had
a narrow victory over Gala Wanderers and host Melrose Wasps tomorrow at Hay
Lodge also at 2 PM.
The colts U16
played their
National U16 Youth Bowl
game on Monday night but lost out narrowly 26-21 at Selkirk.
Peebles High
School lost in the
Brewin Dolphin U15 Scottish Schools
Plate
at Boroughmuir last week, whilst (at the time of writing) the PHS
Brewin Dolphin U18 Scottish Schools Cup game against Marr on Wednesday was still going ahead – see club
web site www.peeblesrfc.org for result.
The Scotland v
Fiji International will be showing the on the big screen in Eastgate Clubrooms
tomorrow. Kickoff is 2.30 PM.
It’s certainly
a busy couple of weeks for local rugby.
The Rover’s
coffee morning last week was cancelled due to other similar events taking place
in the town, however tomorrow, The Victoria Park Centre will be holding their
Coffee Morning in the Eastgate Club rooms to raise funds for their activities.
Please come along between 10 and 12.
