It's a cup weekend and one that is kicked off early with our
Men's 2s facing Rottenrow in their District Cup game on Friday night (1930) at
Auchenhowie. This should be a good match and one that the boys, who have
improved with each game this season, should feel that they can win. We welcome
Adrian Bucher (Switzerland) and Luka Zupancic (Austria) as guest umpires
as part of the Umpires 4 Europe exchange programme. Details of what is on offer
as part of this programme are detailed elsewhere but the game itself should be
a good one and the bar will be open so come down and give the boys your support
if you can.
On Sunday they play Stepps at Millerston in a league game
they will feel is winnable, too.
On Saturday the Men's 1s go to Nairn to play Highland in
what should be a routine first round Scottish Cup assignment. They then
stay overnight in Aberdeen ahead of their Sunday league fixture against
Gordonians. While taking nothing for granted, Western will feel they can win both
games off the back of their excellent 4-3 result against Grange last Saturday.
The 3s host Rottenrow 2s on what could be an interesting
Reserve Cup fixture (1400). Western don't have quite the strength of recent
weeks as the October holiday has taken its inevitable toll. However,
they still look good and are just about favourites against the team
they lead by a single goal in West 1. The 4s have a tough looking draw
with Central 1 side Edinburgh University 3s the visitors (1100).
Our Women's 1st Team have two games in the capital. On
Saturday the play Erskine Stewarts Melville in the league (1300) at Peffermill;
on Sunday it's Grange in the cup. Wildcats will expect wins in each.
