Neither first team managed to get points on the board in their opening game but the girls will be much happier than the boys with how the played during their 2-1 defeat at Grove.
Wildcats were missing Zoe Sinclair, Alex Stuart and Rona Stewart but still put up a battling performance, seeing off 13 penalty corners and performing well. Kaz was pleased and remains confident that the girls are capable of beating the top teams in the league when they are able to field a full side and especially when they play at Auchenhowie.
The Men's 1s were far less satisfied with their day's work. Scott McCartney and Niall Sommerville both scored from corners but Western never really got going and looked unconvincing defensively. Hillhead were the better team and deserved their 3-2 win.
The Men's 2s lost predictably heavily on the road to Grange 2s. They played well against a much bigger, more experienced side, hit the post and had a goal chalked off but were definitely second best. Playing in games like this is an important part of their development, though, and they will be the better for the experience.
The 3s trounced Kelburne 4s 6-1 and the 5s also recorded a big score, 8-0 at home to Ayr 2s.
The Women's 2s lost 4-2 at Loch Lomond while the 3s were given an 11-0 lesson by Uddingston.
