The
Men's 1st Team return to action on Saturday with a league game against
Clydesdale at Titwood (1430). Harry is pleased with how his squad is shaping up
with Andrew Sinclair back after a long lay-off.
"The
main strength of the team is the balance and depth in the divisions of our team
structure," he said. "With the addition of Adam McKenzie and Fabian
Goldie to our back line we are defensively very strong. In midfield we have our
young Scotland U21 players organised by Andrew Sinclair which is making our
midfield really effective and our Striker line now has pure speed from Luke
Cranney, power and strength from Ross Clunie and the experience of Scott
McCartney, whilst behind all of that stands Gavin Sommerville."
"A
top four finish for Western is still my primary target for the season," he
went on, "So our match against Clydesdale is crucial to maintaining
that hard fought for top-four current placing. We have a game in hand over our
immediate neighbours on the league table, but with so many double headers you
cannot be confident of banking any points from here till the end of the
season."
Rob
Harwood misses out with a shoulder injury but Western look strong apart from
that.
The
Men's 2s are also back in action after a long lay-off. They are bolstered by
some experience coming down from the 1s and will be hopeful they can take
something against Edinburgh University 2s at Peffermill (1300).
The
Men's 3s have strolled through their opening games of 2016 and will feel
confident of seeing off the challenge of Clydesdale 3s at Titwood (1130). The
4s also play Clydesdale (who else?). They are at home at 1100 and will be keen
to maintain their 100% record this season. The 5s are also at home, playing
Giffnock at 1230.
The
Women's 2s and 3s both play at home. The 2s are at 1400 against Ferguslie, the
3s at 1530 against Hillhead.
