Weekend Sport – Sat 26th January. 1st XV lose but stay in touch with second place

Peebles  25   Stewart’s Melville RFC  17

A disappointing outcome for the 1st XV at Peebles failing to add to our games point total.    Turning around a 15-3 deficit into a winning 17-15 position with 15 minutes left Peebles added a penalty and a try with 5 minutes left to give them the win.   A lift was received however when the result of Highland’s match at Dumfries came through, 10-3 to the “Saints” leaving Stew Mel tied on points with Highland on 62.    We have four games left, all in March, including one v Highland on Saturday 16th March at Inverleith.   Highland still have to travel to Peebles on 6th April for a catch up fixture … so all is not lost.
