GYTES GOSSIP
(PN 8 January 2010)
Another
weekend with no games for PRFC as the snow and ice continue to cover the ground.
The midweek
game at Netherdale saw the South of Scotland win by a large margin. Peebles had
3 players in the match day squad, Ryan McConnell, who started at hooker, whilst
Willie Aitken and Donald Sangster came off the bench in the second half.
The
forecast indicating that the longest cold snap for several decades is expected
to continue into next week, games are extremely unlikely this weekend and indoor
training sessions are being organised by Willie Aitken and the management team.
The web
site will be updated when new information is available and we will also notify
Radio Borders to keep in touch.

John McGuigan
PRFC were saddened to hear of the death of former player, John McGuigan, after
long illness and a heart attack which ensued.
John recently lost his son in a tragic incident in Iraq.
John played second row for Peebles in the 70s and 80s and was a regular
extrovert star attraction in the Beltane Show. In 1984, when John ironically
starred as Elton John he persuaded newsreader, Gordon Honeycomb, to take part in
the Show on Beltane Saturday.
