After a testing opening fixture against Menzieshill, things don't get much easier for our Men's 1st Team with their second league match away to Kelburne (1300). Western played pretty well against the Dundonians at Auchenhowie and, for all that they lost 4-2, can surely take a measure of confidence from the performance. If they play as well with the ball as they did a fortnight ago - and tighten up defensively a little, - they can go into the game feeling they can get a result.
All the other men's teams are at home. The 2s are on first against Rottenrow (1030) who were whupped 17-0 at Auchenhowie last Saturday by a very strong Grange 2s (Glasgow Green being unavailable due to the inter-district tournament). Western got off to a flyer with a terrific 5-1 win over Grange 3s two weeks ago and really must target this one for points as well. It won't be easy, though, as Rottenrow always provide stiff competition.
The 3s are riding high in West District Division 1. However, their fixture against Clydesdale 3s (1200) is likely to be a lot harder than their previous two matches. Clydesdale beat the 4s 4-2 in the opening game of the season and are a decent side. The 4s also have a tricky looking fixture against Kelburne 3s (1330). The 5s finish off the day with their first game of the season against Giffnock 3s (1630). The only ladies side in action are the 3s, playing against Lomond at Hermitage Academy (1415).
