Hillhead v GHK Match Preview

GHK travel to Jordanhill school to face newly promoted Hillhead. The hosts have been struggling as of late with just 1 win to their name in the league this season languishing 3rd bottom currently. The visitors have been steadily improving in league performance, scoring 101 points in their last 2 league outings. With a bye in the cup on Saturday, GHK have gone 2 weeks without a game and will be hoping things will click into place quickly.

Squad News

A number of changes to the side that thumped Loch Lomond for various reasons. In the backs veteran Cammy Little plays his first game of rugby of the season at full back with Chuck McElroy moving to the wing in place of Canadian bound Rory Love. Jaimie Millan's return at fly half sees captain Olly Jones shift to inside centre. In the forwards, Ryan Welsh's shoulder injury means Ally Forbes moves to prop and Gordi Reid starts for the first time since his return from America. The back row sees Alex McLemon replace Stu Pollock. Robbie Alexander returns to bench alongside debutant Sean Murray.

Team (provisional)
15 C Little, 14 C McElroy, 13 A Smeaton, 12 O Jones, 11 A McTavish, 10 J Millan, 9 G Rand, 8 F Wallace, 7 F McKinven, 6 A McLemon, 5 N Cram, 4 N Gilmartin, 3 A Forbes, 2 G Reid, 1 E MacDonald
