Western Wildcats Hockey Club

This Saturday is a busy one at Auchenhowie with four of our five men's sides at home.

The 1s play newly promoted Watsonians (1400). Western are missing one or two regulars and penalty king Dave Whiting keeps his place in goal after his cup heroics on Sunday. Watsons have toiled this season and, while Western can never be complacent, this really is one that should comfortably got the way of the home side.

The 2s have had a curate's egg of a season thus far with some very good victories (Grange 2s and Edinburgh University 2s) but the odd disappointing defeat (Rottenrow). Grange 3s are the visitors this weekend (1100) and, with a handy looking team, Fraser - himself crippled with a bad back - will be confident of three points. In particular, keep an eye out for Lachlan McCreedie, promoted from Euan Miller's 4th Team and with the ability to really make his mark on the 2s this season.

The 3s are motoring in West District Division 1 this season with four wins from four. Irvine are at Auchenhowie (1230) and Matt will expect five from five as he fields a strong looking side. Away to Hillhead 5s at Balgray (1330), the 4s are the only team not playing in the cauldron of the Milngavie San Siro. Their form has been very good recently and another win should be on the cards on Saturday. Finally, the 5s welcome Uddingston 5s (1530). Here's hoping we get to their game with the granny still on.

On Sunday, the Women's 1s go to Edinburgh to play CALA. We demand victory in this one, too.
