Visit by les Eglantins Football Club

MAGNIFICENT SEVENS JOY

Peebles Football Club's Youth Section held its first 7-a-side football festival was held during the last weekend of May.

The event was organised to enable the Eglantins Football Club from Hendaye (Peebles' Twin Town) to travel to Peebles to participate.  A total of 21 players accompanied by 16 adults arrived from Hendaye.  The players were hosted by the families of the Peebles footballers and adults stayed at the Tontine Hotel.

Eglantins eventually won the tournament which was played in attrocious weather.

The visitors enjoyed a visit to Edinburgh as well as being entertained at the Ex-Servicemen's Club.

Special mention must be made of Martin McKemmie and Neil Thomson whose work behind the scenes over a long period ensured the smooth running of a very successful event.
