Western Wildcats Hockey Club

The Men's 1s welcome table-toppers Clydesdale to Auchenhowie twice in the space of 48 hours for first a Friday night league game under the lights (2000) and then a Scottish Cup tie on Sunday afternoon (1400).

There really isn't much between these sides as Harry acknowledged saying, "At Titwood you would say that Clydesdale would probably be favourites but here at Auchenhowie I think we are expected to win. The sides are so evenly balanced that home advantage really does matter. Make no mistake, though, we back ourselves to win no matter where the game is played!"

Harry has a full squad as Vishal returns following the birth of his daughter, Anni. Congratulations, Mr Director of Business!

The girls seem to be specialising in draws this season. Unbeaten they remain. However, of their four games only one has been a win. They face arguably their most demanding game thus far with a trip to Edinburgh University.

Kaz knows it will be tough saying, "The way things look at the moment, the title will come down to a straight fight between Grove and the Uni. We have done really, really, well getting points from games against Western and Wanderers but this is another step up and another test. We are up for it and welcome the challenge."

There are no other girls' games but the boys' club sides are all in action. The 2s have a tricky visit to Edinburgh University 2s. This will not be easy but they have a strong looking squad and will be confident. The 3s are at home to Uddingston (1230) as they try to maintain their 100% record while the 4s are at Garscube (1430) to play Glasgow University 3s and the 5s play at Craigholme against Clydesdale 5s (1330).
