PEEBLES hope to bounce back from Saturday’s defeat at Kirkcaldy with a home win over Irvine.

The defeat disappointed rugby director Bob Hogarth, who was ‘just delighted’ to come away with a bonus point.

‘We always knew it would be difficult, and we now know that tye rest of the season will be hard.

“I have always said that there is still a lot of rugby to be played.

“We still have to go to Ellon (January 19), and we have never won there!”
