WEEKEND PREVIEW

21 Oct 2015

Following an excellent run of three successive wins our Women's 1st Team are in great form ahead of their trip to Edinburgh University for what is, on paper, the most challenging fixture of their season. In truth, this game is one where the girls can play with a degree of freedom as anything they take from it is a bonus. The pressure games are those against teams they are expected to take points.

 

The 2s and 3s are both at home, to East Kilbride 2s (1500) and Stepps (1200) respectively.

 

The Men's 1st Team are keen to get over their 5-0 defeat to Menzieshill and have the ideal opportunity at home against another side from the city of jute, jam and journalism: Dundee Wanderers (1330). Wanderers have been scrapping around in the relegation zone for several seasons now and Western must beat teams like this if they are to finish top-four and compete for the national title. This one might not be very pretty but it really should end up in a home win.

 

Both the 3s and 4s have perfect starts to their season and will be confident of keeping up their 100% records. The 3s are at home to Motherwell (1030) and look as strong as you would expect. The 4s also look good as they go to Galasgow Green to play Rottenrow 3s (1330). The 5s have the graveyard slot at Auchenhowie as they entertain Hillhead 7s (1630). The 2s don't have a game this weekend.
