There were two good wins for the first teams over Hillhead and plenty more besides in a pleasing Saturday's hockey.
The girls went to Glasgow Green off the back of two straight defeats but put those results behind them with a 4-1 win. Emma McDiarmid, Kaz Cuthbert and Alex Stuart got their goals.
The boys eked out an excellent 2-1 win at Old Anniesland. Nikki Homfrey and Joe McConnell had them 2-0 up at the break but the second half was tougher and they lived on their wits at times. In truth, both team missed numerous chances. Hillhead must be sick of the sight of Western. They have played us four times in 2017 and lost each one by a single goal.
The Women's 2s, with only ten players, beat East Kilbride 3-1. Their male counterparts saw out a disappointing 1-1 draw with Uddingston. Ronan Vennard scored their goal.
The Men's 3s enjoyed a terrific 6-2 win over Kelburne 3s. This was a good game played in a great spirit at Auchenhowie. The 4s lost 4-2 at home to runaway league leaders Clydesdale.
