GLASGOW ACCIES NEWSLETTER
 
17th February 2012
 
Dear Supporter,
 
Further to my news letter earlier this week this is the team sheet.
 
The 1st XV are at home in the 3rd last game of the league entertaining Allan Glens.  Although there is supposedly nothing to play for we are lying 5th with 35 points and A G’s are lying 6th with 34 points equal with East Kilbride so there is indeed everything to play for. The game tomorrow enjoys a later KO of 3PM.
 
The 2nd XV have five more games to play in the league and are also at home tomorrow against Cartha (KO 3pm) which will be a good test for Ross Chassel’s charges. After a good start to the season they lie 4th in the league and have a good strong team to take the field.
 
The 1st have many changes in the side tomorrow as has been three weeks since the last game. Ali McLaren steps in at full back, Dougie Horne and Craig Wright make up the wing positions, both back from injury. Jonny Taylor is in at stand off with Ben Semple at No9. The pack has a couple of stalwarts in the “boiler house” – Graeme Simpson and Sandy Fitzpatrick.  We have Conor Diffin hooking, Adam Taylor in the second row and Matt Franklin in at prop.
 
Due to the main bar refurbishment the upper bar will be in operation and there will be a light pre match lunch at 1.30, nothing formal and please come along early and join us.  Let me know if you would are having lunch.
 
The forecast for tomorrow is showers but the pitch should be firm.
