Dear Supporter,
 
After the disappointment of last week against Newton Stewart we face a new challenge this week away to Waysiders at Coatbridge. This season we have been plagued by injuries and misfortune and this week is no exception with 7 changes coming into the team and 3 positional changes. Despite this we hope to present a strong challenge to Waysiders.
 
Next week we have our league match and Dave Gilmour Cup match against GHK at Old Anniesland KO. 3pm (under the lights). There is a short meal (6.30pm finish) and presentation of the Cup after the game and we have an Accies table so please let me know if you would like to join us.  Your support would be greatly appreciated. We have GHK shortly after on Dec 10th at Old Anniesland in the semi final of Regional Shield Trophy.
 
The 1st XV back line will look somewhat different this week with Ross Chassells coming in at full back, Stewart Seaton at centre with Ali Smith starting at inside and his brother Stu on the wing. Robert Beattie is back from injury on the other wing. The pack sees the return of Andy Jackson to flanker, Matteo in at hooker and Jack Walker replacing his brother Michael.
 
The seconds had another great win last week against Garnock to leave them in a strong second place with a testing match against Kilmarnock at Bellslands this Saturday (KO 2pm.) They are just below us in 3rd place, four points behind so a good win certainly help our standing.  Our best wishes are with Arnaud Favre who suffered a nasty groin injury at training this week and will be out for the rest of the season.  
 
This Saturday the boys are organising a quiz with a difference in the pavilion after the game and all are welcome so contact Stu Smith or one of team for tickets.
