GIRLS AIMING TO GO FOURTH

12 Nov 2014

The Women's 1s are probably Western Wildcats' team of year so far. Halfway through their league programme they sit well clear of trouble in fifth, just two points away from fourth place Dundee Wanderers and with a trip to Dundee on Saturday for a classic six-pointer. The progress Wildcats have made this season is remarkable and, but for a couple of disappointing draws, they could realistically be much higher up the table.

​
Kaz is certainly enjoying this season more than last. "We are playing really well and it's great fun at the moment," she said. "Our target at the start of the season was sixth place because it gaurantees safety and keeps us out of the releagtion play-offs. We obviously have to make sure that we achieve that as a minimum but there's no reason why we can't aim higher and push for the European play-offs. Saturday is a big game in that respect. We know it will be very tough because Wanderers are a good side but we have nothing to lose and are going up there to try and win."

​
The 2s are at home to Ferguslie (1330) and, given how well they are playing right now, will feel that they should win. The 3s are also at Auchenhowie and play MCC Western 6s (1500) who are just above them in the table. Wildcats have been finding some form of late so will fancy their chances.
