Our Men's 1st Team's renaissance continued with another excellent win today. The boys hammered Watsonians 6-0 to consolidate fifth place. Only Uddingston's shock 2-1 defeat of Kelburne prevented the boys finishing the weekend in the top four. Western host Uddingston on Saturday in what could be a cracking, season-defining fixture.
Western started the game at Peffermill well and could have taken the lead early on. As it was, a Fraser Moran double had them deservedly ahead just before half time when they won a penalty corner which was converted by Adam MacKenzie in overtime to effectively kill the game.
The second half followed a similar pattern with Joe McConnell, MacKenzie and Rob Harwood all scoring and Gavin Sommerville marshalling his back four to ensure the third clean sheet in three games. Western now have an aggregate score of 16-0 from their last three fixtures and look to have kicked on massively since a disappointing first half of the season.
The only downer on a fantastic weekend for the boys was a nasty hamstring injury to Fraser Calder which has probably ended his season. This is hugely frustrating for a young man who had a similar issue in the earlier part of the season and really looked to be coming into some form after returning to fitness.
