A
presentation with a
difference was made at
the end of today’s match
against Dufftown as
Stephen Payne was
presented with a bottle
of whisky as man of the
match nominated by Mick
Hyde in memory of
Pebbles Hyde.
Mick
reports on Junior games
around the country for
the Sunday Mail but his
visit to Bo’ness today
was mainly concerning
his greyhound dog
Pebbles. Pebbles was
born in Bo’ness and
after her racing career
was over, Mike and his
wife Connie adopted the
greyhound. However
recently Pebbles died
and Mike, Connie and
newly adopted Bam Bam
made the vigil to
Bo’ness to scatter
Pebble’s ashes in the
Bo’ness dock.
Mick had
previously brought
Pebbles back to Bo’ness
and the former racing
dog had enjoyed running
along the foreshore and
it just seemed
appropriate to Mick that
Pebbles’ final resting
place be in this very
area.
With
Mick’s love of the
Junior game he decided
to commemorate the
occasion by making
today’s presentation and
he decided Stephen Payne
was worthy of the prize.
The photograph shows
Stephen with his
presentation accompanied
by Mick’s wife Connie
and of course Bam Bam.
