Table toppers await Gateshead
After a busy weekend of action in which the Pirates
weren’t involved, Scotland’s number one team now sit clear at the top of their
Conference. An unexpected victory for the Yorkshire Rams against the Gateshead
Senators gives the Pirates sole possession of the top spot, as the only
undefeated team in BAFL 1 North.
The Scots look forward to the visit of the Tyneside
outfit on Sunday, where they have the opportunity to extend their lead at the
top to two games over their long time foe. The two sides have met no less than
fifteen times over the last nine seasons, with the Pirates leading the series
by nine games to six.
The first home game at Hamilton Rugby Club on 24
May was a huge success for the Pirates, as they ran out 40-0 winners in front
of a crown of almost 200 fans. With the summer seemingly arriving early to the
UK, it is hoped that the weather will hold out and allow the locals the chance
to see a fantastic game in the sunshine. Once again, spectators will be able to
enjoy a BBQ, licensed bar, music, live commentary and a free game day programme
on entry.
The Pirates play the Gateshead Senators on Sunday 7
June. Kick off is at 2:30pm and gates open at 2pm at Hamilton Rugby Club, Laigh
Bent, Hamilton. Entrance is £3 for adults and free for under 16’s. To find out
