75 goals in a weekend of exciting hockey!
Division one followed form this weekend as all the top sides beat those at the bottom. There were thirteen goals to speak of at Windyedge, as league leaders Western 3rd XI scored ten against Hillhead’s 4th XI’s three. Six different goal scorers got on the sheet as Rottenrow defeated GHK and a late consolation goal by Gordon Black wasn’t enough for Helensburgh as they fell 3-1 to Giffnock. Elsewhere, Hillhead 3rd XI overcame Dumfries and Clydesdale 3rd XI defeated Uddingston 3rd XI.
In division two, the games were slightly closer as second placed Western 4th XI could only get the one past Rottenrow 2nd XI.

The biggest upset of the weekend came in division three as winless Ayr 2nd XI overcame Greenock 2nd XI.

Kelburne 4th XI had an impressive 3-1 over Strathclyde University 2nd XI, moving above them in the table, and Hillhead 6th XI beat Anchor 5-0.
