Given the recent wet summers, the Club has bought a new set of Stuart Canvas pitch covers. The covers can be used overnight before games if rain is forecast, and put over the pitch if showers interrupt play; this lessens the risk of games having to be cancelled or curtailed in inclement weather due to the pitch become unplayable.
The purchase of these new covers would not have been possible without the fund-raising efforts of ex-captain Kenny Paterson, who last year – along with team-mates Blaine Gillie, Ian Gardiner and friends Gordon Douglas and Iain Minto – undertook a sponsored walk along the West Highland Way. Thanks go to everyone who sponsored them, as well as to Scottish Borders Council for grant assistance, and to the four companies whose logos appear on the covers.
