MEN SECURE PLAY-OFF SPOT

14 Mar 2016

The Men's 1st Team secured their place in the European play-offs on Saturday with a 3-3 draw at Grange. Adam MacKenzie's hat trick of penalty corner goals had Western 3-0 up before they lost their focus in the second half and allowed their hosts to come back. This point, coupled with Clydesdale's defeat to Gordonians, means Western definitely finish fourth and will play either Kelburne or Menzieshill over two legs in the semi-final.

 The Women's 1st Team managed to grind out a 2-1 win against GHK at Old Anniesland. This was not pretty but the three points are important as they aim to finish top four themselves. Yesterday, they played much better and only lost 1-0 to league leaders Grove. Wildcats must now win their last three games and hope for favours elsewhere.

 The Men's 2s' winning run came to an end with a 5-3 defeat away to Hillhead 2s. The 3s battled out a disappointing 1-1 draw with Uddingston 3s. Western led for most of the game and should have put themselves out of sight. However, Uddingston equalised in the last minute. The 5s also draw 1-1 in a physical game against GHK 2s. This takes their undefeated streak to five games. The Women's 3s lost to GHK 3s.

 Both the Women's 2s and the Men's 4s had their games cancelled as their oppositions were unable to field sides.
