I’m delighted to say that this weekend we have a total
of 31 players available for our two fixtures at Inverleith
(both kicking off at 3 pm). The 3rd XV have a league match
against Lasswade 2nd XV (rumoured to be coached by former
Stew Mel stalwart James ‘Cheesy’ Hume) whilst
the 4th XV have a friendly against our neighbours Inverleith
RFC.
There's a settled look to the 3rd XV as we attempt to continue
our recent good form. We do, however, warmly welcome a new
front row recruit in the shape of Andrew ‘Foxy’
Fowler, who has taken a bench spot to ease himself back
into things.
Lasswade will be a tough match - their results show they
don’t give a lot away, and we’ll need to be on
our game to continue our winning run.
Can all players please be down at Inverleith for no later
than 2.20 pm. Please bring socks and shorts (preferably
white) and also be aware there is a Halloween fancy dress
party at the clubhouse on Saturday evening, details of which
are here.
See you on Saturday and thank you once again for the tremendous
response.

| Leading Lion |
A fairly flat team performance today, although we
coped effectively enough against a tough Lasswade
side who closed us down well.
This week's award has to go to Paul
Sullivan. Given a slot at centre before
eventually moving to full-back, Sully showed great
hands, good timing and solid defence throughout.
|
| Cowardly Lion (FTWOO) |
Only one contender this week, Mark
Coyle. Despite the admin duties required
to accommodate the needs of 31 players between two teams,
Coylie still managed to sleep through the whole
afternoon. |
| Special Mention |
Firstly, Martin
Kemp, for playing the first half for the
4ths against Inverleith then coming across to play the
second half for the 3rds against Lasswade.
Secondly, Paul Wilson,
for driving down from the Highlands - were he was
on holiday - and going straight onto the pitch to
replace Stew Forsyth at half-time.
Good work, front row blokes!
(I think Brodie
also deserves a Special Mention for getting two teams
out on Saturday, after a power of work on his part
- once again, we salute you, Mr Smithers! Bill)
