The Gytes Gossip for the Peeblesshire News edition 11.7.2014.

Pre-season training began on Monday evening at the Gytes with the new coaching team of Gavin Kerr and Drew Moore in charge along with strength and conditioning coach Phil Mack. It is hoped that we will have a good turnout as we get set for the new season on BT National League 1. If you are considering playing for the club please come along and make yourself known – you will be made most welcome. Training sessions will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Hay Lodge Lottery takes place again in the Eastgate Clubrooms at 6:00pm tonight. Last week’s selection was: Melrose, Hawick, Peebles, Jed Thistle, Selkirk YC and Hawick PSA

Again there were no winners. Closest were Adam Clark, Mike Gibson, K Blacklaw, Davie Duthie and Jim Currie – 3 lines each

The club has arranged a couple of pre-season fixtures – August 16th sees Peebles host Gala at the Gytes in the Border League. The following week – on Thursday August 21st the squad travels into Edinburgh to play Murrayfield Wanderers on the back pitches – kick off 7:30pm. The season proper opens on Saturday 30th August when Peebles play Greenock Wanderers at the Gytes in the first round of the BT Cup, with the BT National League Division 1 campaign starting a week later on 6th September at home to Kelso.
