Any supporters wishing to travel on the team bus to Hawick
are welcome to do so, and should assemble at Inverleith
at 10.30 am sharp on Saturday. For anyone travelling by
car, a map to Volunteer Park (in Buccleuch Road) can be
found here.
We are confident that we will secure a rather better result
than the last time we played Linden in the Cup, but would
welcome your support on Saturday to make doubly sure of
this!

| Referee |
Andrew McMenemy of (gulp) Gala - cue calls
of 'Awa, ya Gawly b*stard!' at various points from the
sizeable home support. Had a pretty decent game, handling
the intermittent punch ups sensibly without the use
of cards - maybe it was his uncanny resemblance to a
young John Lydon that made the players heed what he
was saying to them ... |
| Single Sentence Summary |
Not exactly champagne rugby - it was more
a day for soup than champagne - but a professional performance
against a stuffy Linden side that never stopped trying
and attacked throughout the game |
| Leading Lion |
Good, if unspectacular, performances from a lot of
the players today, with Pete McLean seeing a lot of
the ball and Andrew 'Uppercut' Easson as solid as
ever. But Colin Goudie
gets the nod for an assured 1st XV debut -
good hands, intelligent kicking and an eye for gaps
in the Linden defence.

| Bevvy Bulletin |
Had assumed that I would have to head for the nearest
Hawick hotel for pre-match pints, but it turned out
that Linden have a fine (and recently refurbished)
bar at the back of their stand, chock full of Borders
rugby memorabilia and with direct access to the kitchen
and the back of the stand.
The beer was nothing to write home about (Guinness,
T******s, etc), but the convivial atmosphere more
than made up for that - what a great wee club!
|
| Pie Points |
No pies, but some superb homemade lentil
soup at half time, then mince and tatties afterwards
- oh, and homemade tablet that was being sold for the
Jonny Mitchell Appeal. Excellent! |
