June, 2010

Peebles u13 squad entered two 7-a-side teams into the Melrose 7s invitation tournament on Saturday 12 June.  WIth 8 teams in the competition the two teams each played 7 games opening the tournament playing against each other.  All the games were evenly matched with most of the games being won by the odd goal.  Special mention should go to Coldstream whose team included some primary school boys playing alongside the S1s.  Their spirit and enthusiasm added a lot of fun to the tournament. 

A new coaching team is being established to continue the Peebles u16 squad (boys born in 1995) to play games in the Lothian Buses South East Region Youth League for 2010/11.  If you were previously a member of the squad or would just like an opportunity to be considered for a place in the squad then please come along to trials on Tuesday 29 June from 6:30-7:30pm and Thursday 1 July 6:30-7:30pm both at the Gytes (beside the cricket pavillion).  Alternatively contact Colin George on 07784104733 or leave a message at

The Club's AGM was held in the Tontine at 7:00pm on Sunday 6 June where club officials were appointed.  A warm welcome to new Vice Chairman James Thomson.  At the AGM it was also agreed that the senior team would play under the name Peebles Rovers and that Peebles Amateurs would be renamed Peebles Rovers Reserves.

The Junior Section's AGM will be held in the Tontine on Sunday 13 June at 7:00pm.  Again all are welcome. 

The final fixture of the season saw Peebles Cubs play away at Innerleithen and deliver a fantastic performance over the whole hour. Peebles started strongly and scored a couple of goals to take an early lead. Leithen Vale drew level with a couple of speculative long clearances from the half way line both of which soared over the Peebles keeper. However, Peebles showed a great attitude to come back and score a winner just before the end of the first period.
