Grange can’t afford any mistakes in the Division One title race as they are only five points behind pace-setting Bromac Kelburne with a game in hand.

The Edinburgh side have 28 points from 11 games while the West of Scotland club, who are the defending champions, have 33 points.

On Saturday, Grange visit bottom club AAM Gordonians (push off 15.30) while Watsonians face a key clash as they bid to add to their disappointing record which has produced only three wins in 11 Division One games.

The former league leaders entertain improving Uddingston Deans Eng at Peffermill (13.00) and the Lanarkshire side, who just beat the drop last season, have climbed to fifth position in the ten-strong table.

They have 14 points while seventh-placed Watsonians have 11 points and coach Mike Leonard will hope that the point taken in last weekend’s joust at fellow-strugglers, PSL Team Sport Clydesdale, will have boosted moral.

Edinburgh University, who eared only one point from a possible six last weekend courtesy of a 3-3 home draw with PSL Team Sports Clydesdale, after being 3-1 down and a 2-1 defeat at AAM Gordonians, are not in action.

Other games on Saturday see defending champions Kelburne entertain Hillhead (13.30) and Grove Menzieshill hosting Western Wildcats (13.00). On Sunday, PSL Team Sport Clydesdale host Hillhead (14.30).
