MEN AND WOMEN AT TITWOOD THIS SATURDAY

20 Oct 2017

Both first teams play Clydesdale at Titwood this Saturday.

The men are first on at 1400 against a Dale side who have won their last three games and are playing with some confidence. Western are on their own excellent run of form, of course, and - despite not being quite at their best last Saturday - fought out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Grange. With the Edinburgh side hosting Kelburne somebody has to drop points at the top of the table and Western are very focused on ensuring they capitalise with a win.

Ross Clunie, back from a successful season in Australia, goes straight into the squad for the visitors while Matt McGinlay and Fraser Calder miss out again to injury.

Straight after the men are the women at 1530. The girls are absolutely flying just now and are top of the division after five wins from five games. In truth, and not to detract from their success, these have all been games which the girls expected to win. Saturday will provide more of a challenge against one of the traditional big guns of the women's game in Scotland. Wildcats have already knocked the Titwood side out of the Scottish Cup and travel with the confidence that they can secure three points in the league.

On Sunday the cup rolls around again. The women will feel that they have much too much for Dundee University at Auchenhowie (1400) while the men have a much tougher draw at Old Anniesland versus Hillhead (1200). The Men's 2s play Grange 2s at the club (1100).
