This weekend Accies make the long trip to Thurso to play Caithness in a SHE National League Division 2 match. The team leave Glasgow at 6-00pm on Friday and overnight in Helmsdale before travelling on to Thurso on Saturday morning in time for a 2-00pm kick off.
There have been changes from the strong performance last week against Cambuslang. These are mainly due to work commitments.
Carl Bates drops out from the stand off slot and is replaced by Jamie Doig the captain who moves forward from centre. Jamie is replaced at centre by Dougie Horne who returns to the side after a three year lay off with injury. He did, however, play particularly well against GHK earlier this season.
In the pack Hooker, Matteo Giovanazzi is available and Adam Howie moves into his more usual position of Hooker from Flanker. The gap at Flanker is filled by Scott Thorburn.
Robin Bryant, Chris McAlpine and new recruit, ex Morrison's Academy player, James Lindsay, make up the bench.
