The last few outdoor games of 2014 take place at Auchenhowie on Saturday with three Western Wildcats teams in action.
First up are the Men's 2s who play Hillhead (1130). Western have had an up-and-down season so far, perhaps a function of the fluctuating availability of some of their players. Hillhead, meanwhile, are second bottom of the division with just seven points. One of those points, however, came from the first game of the season when they drew 1-1 with Western. This has the potential to be a close game, then, and also one well worth winning given how tight things are amongst the chasing pack: three points could very valuable if the 2s are to fulfil Fraser's aim of second place at the end of the season.
The Women's 2s' season has gone from strength to strength and they are leading a very competitive West District Division 2 as Christmas nears. They have a very strong squad at the moment - partly as a knock on from the quality currently in the first team - and the likes of Amy Mills, Leonie Traynor and captain Sophie Vennard are driving their success. Given this and the fact that Saturday's visitors Greenock (1330) are ninth in the division, this really should be a home win.
The 3s have not had quite such a successful season. They have won a couple of games but their results column has a lot more red than green on it. Wildcats welcome Dalziel to Auchenhowie on Saturday (1500) who are rock bottom of Division 3 with no points so this is a fantastic opportunity to improve matters. Here's hoping they take it.
