It was another successful weekend for the Men's 1s with two tricky away fixtures and two gritty wins plus Grange's 3-0 thumping of Kelburne putting them into the cup quarter finals and back on top of Division 1.
On Saturday they went to Titwood and ground out a 1-0 win over a dangerous Clydesdale side. It was 0-0 until well into the second half before Rob Harwood reacted to a deflection off the post to scramble home the only goal of the game. Western defended doggedly throughout with the likes of Gavin Sommerville, Fabian Goldie, Rhury Smith and - in particular - Nikki Homfrey playing key roles at the back.
This Saturday their league campaign continues with a mouth-watering clash against Kelburne at Glasgow Green.
On Sunday, they just had a little bit of extra quality over Hillhead at Old Anniesland in the cup and, in a game that was nip and tuck all the way, won by the odd goal in five thanks to Rhury Smith and a classy double from the man of the moment - Rob Harwood.
The girls suffered an agonising first league defeat of the season at Titwood. After an embattled first forty minutes or so they eventually conceded but clawed their way back to 1-1 through Megan Cox. With just five minutes left they lost a goal to an excellent reverse stick strike for a 2-1 defeat. Yesterday, Wildcats saw off Dundee University 6-0 in the cup with Catriona Booth, Kirsten Cannon, Emily Cross, Alex Stuart, Megan Cox and Rachel Bain all scoring.
The only other result from the weekend was a 2-0 defeat for our Men's 2s by Grange 2s in the District Cup.
