It's near the season half way point - grab your oranges, fuel up and get 3pts!

Grange 1s away to Hillhead
time and venue: away Old Anniesland 1:30pm start

After a weekend off due to the frost the 1s are looking to continue their unbeaten run up to Christmas. Hillhead are the oppo and they have had a great first half of the year and are sitting fourth, in the final play off position. We will hope this game is on but with temperatures forecast at -5 on Thursday and Friday in Glasgow we will be lucky to see the blue panels of the Anniesland pitch!

Grange 2s - no game

Grange 3s - no game

Grange Dev vs Watsonians 3s
time and venue: at Fettes at 1400
PICK OF THE WEEKEND

The dev team have a tough fixture this week, Watsonians are 1 pt behind the development team in the league. A win would help the galacticos bid for the title (that's if the dev team don't snatch it from them!)

Grange 5s vs Carnegie 2s
time and venue: at Fettes at 1230

The game before the pick of the week features the galacticos, carneige certainly wont be push overs but with good availability and doug 'goals' meikle fit they should get all three points.

Grange 6s vs Uni 4s
time and venue: at St George's at 1430
The 6s are bottom of the form guide, but are playing mid-table Uni 4s this weekend. Craig has picked this game as a potential for points - let's see how it unfolds.

Grange 7s vs Falkirk 3s
time and venue: at Linlithgow Academy at 1215
The 7s have a real opportunity here to get some much needed points to secure a midtable finish. Their side is bolstered by the return of a 'fit' captain - all week he has been complaining of a dodgy knee !! I think that with availability strong this will be a win for the 7s. The only issue is Falkirk can be a little frosty - so lets hope that the salt on the pitch lets play commence.

Grange 8s vs Livingston 1s
time and venue: at Inveralmond Community High School at 1200
A great 1-0 win for the 8s last week brought the team out of negative points. On Wednesday JHJ had 11 fit and able players which is great. They play against the other team with 1 point so it could be a really close match up! 3pts would hoist them off bottom place and boost morale for the side!

Good luck to all who are representing the stags this weekend!

Remember curryoke is on 3 December - see your captains for tickets!
