After
last Saturday's washout, we are hopeful that this weekend's card will pass off
without a hitch.
The
Men's 1s are sitting fourth after ten games and a win at home to Gordonians
(1300) would probably keep them there over the winter break. They trained well
last night and are in better fettle than they have been for a while.
"We
have a full squad to pick from for the first time this season," said
Harry. "What with injuries and various other issues we've never had the strength-in-depth we'd want so it's great to have everyone available for
what is an important game."
"Gordonians
have picked up a bit lately after a bad start so we certainly can't take
anything for granted. However, we are at home and we beat them 6-0 earlier in
the year so if we play to our potential we feel we should win and go into the
indoor season off the back of a good result."
Also
at home are the Women's 1s who play CALA (1430). Wildcats are in excellent form
and will have been cursing the postponement of last week's match up at
Dundee Wanderers. The girls lost to CALA earlier in the season in the league
but beat them 3-2 in the cup a few weeks ago and will feel they should have the
measure of the Edinburgh side at Auchenhowie.
The
Women's 2s are at Glasgow Green where they face Bluesox (1500) while the 3s are
at Taylor High School against Dalziel (1330).
The
Men's 2s and 4s are also at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre (you're
right, its name doesn't make sense. We lay the blame squarely on
the poor standard of English teaching in today's Scottish secondary
schools). Both games are scheduled for the ungodly hour of 1630.
The
2s have a tough assignment against Kelburne 2s. They gave Kelburne a good game
a few weeks ago but ended up losing 4-1. It would be good to see some progress
in this one. The 4s play Kelburne 5s and will be hopeful of maintaining their
100% league record.
The
3s are at home to Hillhead 4s (1130) and will be keen to get back to
winning ways following last week's slightly underwhelming 0-0 draw with
Rottenrow. The 5s are at home to Clydesdale 5s (1600) and have a decent looking
side. Here's hoping for a win in this one.
Good
luck to all our teams. Get along to support your clubmates if you can and we
hope to see you at the ceilidh on Saturday night.
