5-1 wins for both first teams led the way on Saturday with the girls now back in fourth place and the boys consolidating their place in third.
The girls were comfortable against Hillhead at Glasgow Green. Kaz Marshall and Kirsty Howe each got two with Rachael Houghton netting the other. Kaz was very pleased with the victory saying, "The league is now really split between the top five and the rest. Realistically, our target must be fourth place and because the top three are quite a bit ahead of us that should come down to a straight fight between us and Wanderers."
At Auchenhowie the men took a while to get going. They had the bulk of the play in the first half and created chances without looking especially convincing before going in 1-0 up at half-time through Niall Sommerville. Thereafter, Dave Whiting had to make some good saves before Luke Cranney scored and settled Western. Ross Clunie, Rob Harwood and Scott McCartney all pitched in with goals before Wanderers nicked a consolation at the end.
Neither second team could take any points. The women lost 2-1 at home while the men were beaten 4-1 in Edinburgh by a very decent Grange side.
The Men's 3s had a patchwork look to them and did well to win 4-2 away to Glasgow Accies in what was a good game of hockey while the 5s played well in a 2-0 defeat to Rottenrow at Glasgow Green. Roddy McConnell made a promising debut as he aims to follow in brothers Joe and Andrew's footsteps.
