GAMES THIS WEEKEND(?)

04 Feb 2015

We're getting a wee bit sick of writing these previews only for the hockey to be kiboshed by the weather, but - more in hope than anything else - we're sticking to our task.

The Men's 3s are at Taylor High School to play Motherwell (1120) and will expect to keep their run going against a team they beat 5-0 at Auchenhowie back in September. As ever, Western will have to work hard for the three points - this team doesn't do steamroller victories - but they take a decent squad and should be confident.

The 4s go to Ayr (1530) in what will be a very interesting contest. Western got something of a chasing in the home game, losing 6-2 to a very experienced side who are currently top of Division 2. However, our kids have improved a lot and look sharp when the weather has allowed them to train so this will be a useful barometer of their progress.

The 5s have a double-header weekend with Greenock 2s away on Saturday followed by Giffnock 3s on Sunday at home (1430). They simply want a game of hockey having lost the last three weekends to the snow. Let's hope they get their games played.

Remember that the France v Scotland rugby will be shown in the bar at 5pm. There promises to be a big crowd down so it's well worth making the effort to enjoy the game in good company at Auchenhowie!
