As we reach the business end of the season our first teams each have huge games on Saturday.
The boys go to Aberdeen to play fourth place Gordonians. A win seals a top three finish and a kinder play-off semi-final while a draw is almost as good. Should Western lose, though, the gap is reduced from six points to just three and suddenly the last two games of the league season – away to Kelburne and then Inverleith - become crucial. Harry has a full squad and should Western play to their potential then three points are well within their grasp.
At Auchenhowie the girls host Kelburne (1300). Wildcats’ league form has been excellent since the turn of the year but Kelburne – so poor in the autumn – are resurgent and fighting tooth and nail to avoid relegation. This will be a close game and one the home side must be at their best to win and keep up the charge for the top four.
The Women’s 2s did well to win at Glasgow Green last week and can hopefully keep things going with another win at Linwood against Ferguslie (1400) while the 3s are at Titwood against Clydesdale 6s (1300).
The Men’s 2s are at home to Uddingston 2s (1130) and will be hopeful of reversing the disappointing defeat they suffered earlier in the season away from home. The 3s look to keep their bandwagon roadworthy at Jordanhill School against Hillhead 4s (1515) while the 4s, fresh from trouncing Kelburne 5s 11-0 have a big game at home to Giffnock (1430), the team immediately above them in the table. The 5s are away to Helensburgh 3s (1215).
