FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

14 Sep 2017

The weekend's fixtures get off to an early start with two Friday Night Lights matches, both featuring our first teams, both away from home and both with 1930 starts.

 

The Women's 1st Team will look to improve from what was a pretty ragged performance against Hillhead on Saturday when they go to Old Anniesland to play newly promoted GHK. Coach Kaz is back from her travels and will add clout to an already impressive roster. Getting the undoubted talent to gel is the challenge but we hope for another win to keep the momentum going.

 

The boys were involved in a cracking game against Hillhead last time out and their trip to Uddingston could be another great contest. The Lanarkshire side have yet to play this season and are something of an unknown quantity with a new coach and presumably a few new faces. Western looked very good in spells against Hillhead and hopefully they can extend that form and get another win.

 

On Saturday the Men's 2s get their season underway against Clydesdale 2s at Auchenhowie (1100). This will not be an easy game. However, Western have a few older heads to complement the excellent youngsters in their side and hopefully this will be a successful blend and one which gets some points on the board.

 

The 3s are away to Clydesdsale 3s (1300) and are aiming to make it three wins on the spin while the 4s are at home to Kelburne 5s (1400). The Women's 2s are at home to Giffnock 2s (1230) while the 3s have the week off.

 

Sunday is cup day with the Men's 1s going to Aberdeen Grammar FP for a game they should win with plenty to spare. The girls have a much tougher match at home to Clydesdale Western (1400). The Men's 2s host Stirling University 2s (1100) and will be hopeful of progressing while the 3s have a tricky home tie against Uddingston 3s (1230).

 

There are lots of great games on this weekend and plenty of them are at very accessable times so get along and support our teams if you possible can.
