Puffin Gannets & North Berwick RFC

The Royal Burgh of North Berwick is a seaside town in East Lothian, Scotland. It is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, approximately 25 miles east of Edinburgh. Several of the Islands of the Forth near the town host thriving colonies of sea birds. The most famous island being the Bass Rock which is home for many thousands of Puffins and tens of thousands of Gannets.

The town has a great sense of community spirit and North Berwick RFC is one of the main hubs. The club has active teams in senior, youth and mini rugby. The rugby club, at Recreation Park, is where you are most likely to find one or more of the rare Puffin Gannets. These mature members of the club like to give their wisdom and advice to the whippersnappers who play in the numerous teams the club fields. From time to time, the old Puffin Gannets put down their pints and nips, hang up their coats and scarfs, pack up the walking frames and sticks to don the pink and grey shirts, head out to the park and attempt to entertain with their particular brand of Puffin Gannet, Golden Oldie Rugby.

Shock Ruling from McKie at Murrayfield gives Gannets Cup Chance

Following on from the McLeod and Stevens drug debacles, the rugby world is reeling again today with the news that the North Berwick HS 1st XV has had 10 points deducted from their score in the recent tussle with the Puffin Gannets due to illegal substances having been used to gel back their front row's hair. The 'B' sample taken from Abbin Anderson's jockstrap has been returned from the lab today and proved conclusive beyond all reasonable doubt that KY jelly has been used. This means that the match result was in fact 7-2 to the Puffin Gannets with Steve Manboobs Thomson's barnstorrming try proving decisive.

Furthermore, the boys have been disqualified from the Bell Lawrie "My RBS shares are worth SFA" Scottish Cup leaving McKie no option but to promote the Puffin Gannets to take their place in the forthcoming last 16 tie versus Glasgow Academy on Sat 24th @ 10.30am @ NBHS.

Will the PGs outdo the 1st XV and see off the Wegie boys and continue the Murrayfield dream ?

BE THERE AND FIND OUT !!
