Fantastic Burn’s Night Raises the Spirits

It was a busy weekend for the Senior Section. A triple bus journey of 1XV, 2XV and the Women’s team in support took the guys to Fife for the 2s to play Dunfermline 2XV and then across the Forth Road Bridge where the 1s took on Murrayfield Wanderers.

See the match reports:
1XV: Murrayfield Edge it as Perthshire’s Concentration Wanders
2XV: When the Many Let Down the Few.

The journey back was eventful with the Women’s team getting their introduction to a famous Perthshire bus trip back. The Burns Supper hosted at the Bank Bar saw 60 members from the club gather to enjoy haggis, neeps & tatties along with entertainment in traditional & not so traditional Burn’s Night style.

Highlights included Paul McLean getting his New Zealand accent around the “Address to the Woodlark,” Toasts to the Backs and Forwards by Chris Wallace and Angus McPherson respectively, the Immortal Memory by Calum Bruce and a series of short stories from Jeremy Wares. To round off the night Bruce Fummey brought the house down with his stand-up comedy routine prior to a full rendition of Tam O’ Shanter.

Thanks to the Isle of Arran Distillery for supplying their Robert Burns Single Malt for the toasts.

It’s a break this weekend for the Calcutta Cup this week. The 1XV next return to the North Inch on Saturday 15th February to host Howe of Fife, the 2XV will also be on the Inch facing Strathmore 2XV. Both kick-off at 3pm, the travelling support made a real difference this week, so get down and support your Perthshire teams in these local derbies.
