GRANGE face a major test of their title credentials when they visit the long-time Division One leaders, Bromac Kelburne, on Saturday (push back 13.30).
The Edinburgh side, fresh from their 4-1 road win at struggling Western Wildcats last weekend, are two points adrift of Kelburne, the defending league champions, and have a game in hand.

However, the West of Scotland club have a superior goal difference of plus 29 against plus 21 for Grange.
Andrew Bogdon, one of Grange’s coaches, said: “We played well in the first-half last Saturday but dropped off in the second.
“This is a big game and we’ll prepare well for it and see what happens on the day.”
Elsewhere, Watsonians face a crunch clash with AAM Gordonians at Peffermill (13.00).
They have slipped from top spot after three games to seventh with nine points from nine games.
The North-East combine have yet to register a point after nine games and anchor the table. They have a goal difference of minus 36 and have scored 14 goals and lost 50. Watsonians have shipped 35 goals but scored 24.
