East Vets v The Borders Vets on 17th September 2019

The sun was shining and it was a glorious morning when we arrived in Peebles for our annual match against The Borders Vets. As always, a warm welcome was received from Anne Paterson and her team. The course was in great condition and all 6 matches were played in a friendly and competitive spirit. The day was finished off by a lovely meal, some new friends made and such good craic!

The result was a Draw with each team winning 3 of the 6 matches. A good result for an Away match, especially when it was a first for some of our own team.
