Clydesdale Western 1s will be aiming to take top spot of the Women\u2019s Premiership for the first time this season when they welcome Glasgow University 1s to Titwood for a 4.30pm pushback.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as being the only unbeaten side in the top division, the L1s are also the only team with a 100% record, having won all five of their games. The fact that opposition around them have played more games this season will be the main reason as to why \u2018Dale Western currently sit third in the league. But a win against GU 1s on Saturday, coupled with dropped points from Edinburgh University and Hillhead will see the Titwood side take over as league leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Glasgow Uni have had an excellent start to their season with four wins and two losses from six games. A win with a scoreline of more than three would take the west end student side above Clydesdale Western in the league table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going into Saturday\u2019s game, Head Coach Derek Forsyth will be delighted to go into this weekend\u2019s games still without any notable long-term absentees, meaning a full squad will be available for selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clydesdale Men\u2019s 1s take on Watsonians 1s from 3.00pm at Titwood in the Men\u2019s Premiership in a bid to return to winning ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 3-2 loss to Dunfermline Carnegie denied the M1s a third win in a row this season in the league campaign. But a home win on Saturday could see \u2018Dale jump up to fourth in the table with fifteen points. The Titwood side currently have four wins and three losses from their opening seven games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watsonians have only played five games in comparison, but remain unbeaten having won three and drawn the other two games, most recently to Kelburne at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head Coach Ciaran Crawford is expected to welcome skipper Andrew Allan back to the first team fold following a successful recovery from a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
