A number of changes for Kelso’s visit to Inverleith.
Hayden and Mike Crawley drop out from the backline after being injured during last week’s game against Peebles. Their places are taken by Borth and Struan Allan – Struan, of course, came off the bench to play in the centre last week, and did a fine job.
Borth’s place on the wing is taken by Rob Patterson..
The only change in the pack sees Fergus Lamont replacing the unavailable Mark Wilson.
These changes mean that there’s also a bit of movement on the bench this week, with Ek and Ross Sutherland returning and Greg Ruthven making his 1st XV debut.
We are hoping to make it three home wins on the trot this week, after the demolition of GHA on 11th September and the narrow win over Kirkcaldy on 25th September.
We played well in losing to Peebles last week, but are by no means taking Kelso for granted – they need league points just as much as we do, and, lest we forget, beat us the last time they called at Inverleith.
So – another tough game in prospect. Please be there to witness it!
