GYTES GOSSIP (PN 19 February 2010)

With the wee trip to Wales now in the past along with the 10 minute education into how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, tomorrow Peebles travel down to Mansefield Park to play second placed Hawick in the Scottish Hydro Premier 2. The Tweed Homes sponsored team, had chances to better Hawick earlier in the season at the Gytes, but were unable to take the chances presented; something the loyal supporters will be expecting tomorrow.

The seconds are at home to Haddington in the Border Farm Feeds Championship on Friday night or Saturday whilst the colts are away to Langholm in a re-arranged Border Semi Junior league game as they concentrate in completing their postponed matches.

Also tomorrow, 10 AM to midday, there is a coffee morning in the Eastgate Clubrooms when The Community Council of the Royal Burgh of Peebles and District will be raising funds for their Activity Week in May and other projects. Along with coffees and teas, home baking and other goodies, there will be a tombola, raffle and a book stall and maybe a few other wee attractions..

The following youth players received some district honours when they turned out for the Border Reivers and Peebles RFC Congratulate

11. Gregor Cursiter, 10. Jonny Morris, 5. Cameron Murray, 7. Dalton Hall & 20. David Wills  from Peebles Colts who were selected for the Reivers U17 to play Edinburgh on Wednesday 10th February and to Grant Fraser who coached the backs, whilst Gavin Pringle and Richard Lofthouse were invited to join the Border Reivers Under 16 Training Squad.

Finally the Championship Committee have set the date for the postponed Scottish Hydro Cup & Radio Borders Border League game against Melrose at The Gytes as Saturday 27th February. We do understand that there are moves to play on Friday 26th so keep an eye on the web site and the Peeblesshire News next week as well as a weather ear on Radio Borders to keep up to date with what will be one of the biggest and busiest games of this season.
