Dear Edinburgh Supporter
A heavily depleted Edinburgh side suffered another defeat on Friday night. This time it was at the hands of The Borders at Netherdale. http://www.edinburghgunners.org.uk/index.php?pageid=viewreport.php?id=41
Due to the freezing temperatures encountered in the Capital this week Friday's match has been switched from Meadowbank to Murrayfield. With Matt Williams fulfilling his promise to release some of our boys currently away on 6 Nations duty, the visit of Leinster to Murrayfield could be the perfect time to get back to winning ways. Although Leinster have also been hit hard by International commitments they will still provide tough competition with Argentinean Felipe Contepomi just one of the top players still available to them.
We know it will be tough, but you can do your part by getting right behind the Gunners on Friday night. Scream, shout, do you whatever you want, just make some noise and help the boys get back to winning ways!
