West 3 Results - 17 December 2016

Three games off at the weekend in West 3, including the ones involving the top two.  Bishopton v Uddingston was off due to a waterlogged pitch, whilst both Birkmyre and Arran were unable to raise teams to fulfill their games.

The remaining games saw Loch Lomond win 27-5 away at Moffat, whilst the contest between the bottom two teams saw Wigtownshire win 27-24 at Police Scotland.  With Arran not playing, this result sees both Wigtownshire and PSG move above Arran (PSG gaining a lose bonus point).

West 2 Results - 17 December 2016

It’s a two horse race at the top of West 2, with both Cambuslang and Stewartry scoring plenty of points. At the weekend, Cambuslang beat Cumbernauld 47-7 and Stewartry beat Paisley 42-26.

Cambuslang are currently 7 points clear at the top of the table, but Stewartry do have a game in hand. 

West 1 Results - 17 December 2016

For three of the four contenders for the West 1 title, there are now only four games remaining.  At this point in the season, any dropped points by a Club will likely have a major impact on their title challenge.

Bearing this in mind, East Kilbride and Carrick will be wondering if their disappointing results from last weekend can be overcome or if they have delivered a fatal blow to their ambitions of playing in the National Leagues. East Kilbride drew 20 points each with Annan, whilst Carrick lost at Irvine 19-15.

West 4 Results - 10th December 2016

With the Glasgow Uni Medics game being off, Lanark and Mull both got themselves bonus point wins to give us a three way tie at the top of West 4, and only 7 separating the three of them on points difference.  Lanark won 36-33 away at Hyndland, whilst Mull won 25-20 at Cowal.




West 3 Results - 10th December 2016

Two wins for the top two in West 3 - Strathendrick a big 76 -3 away in Arran, but Uddingston had a much closer 16-10 victory at home to Birkmyre; the bonus point puts Endrick one point ahead in first place, whilst still having a game in hand.


It’s Strathendricks turn to host Birkmyre this weekend, whilst Uddie are away at 7th placed Bishopton.

West 2 Results - 10th December 2016

Wins for both Cambuslang and Stewartry at the top of West 2, with Cambuslang victors at Cumnock 21-15, and Stewartry winning 22-12 at home against Millbrae. This is a two horse race with Cambuslang 7 points ahead, though Stewartry do have a game in hand.



Both will be looking for wins this weekend when Cambuslang travel to Cumbernauld and Stewartry host Paisley - bonus points could be crucial come the end of the season, so expect a few tries.

West 1 Results - 10th December 2016

In the space of two weeks, East Kilbride have gone from being unbeaten and 6 points clear at the top of West 1, to now having lost two on the trot after going down 13 - 8 away at Garnock at the weekend. This means they now find themselves a point behind Newton Stewart in 2nd place who scraped an 8-6 win at Annan - all very tasty.

But it doesn’t stop there, Carricks' 39 -13 win against Glens means they’re now only three off top spot, having been 9 behind a couple of weeks ago.

West 4 Results - 4th December 2016

Unfortunately, the turmoil of West 4 got a bit deeper at the weekend.

With Glasgow Alphas and Glasgow East having withdrawn earlier in the season, and the almost weekly struggle for Clydesdale to field a team, things took another turn when league leaders, Glasgow University Medics, failed to make the trip to Mull.

West 3 Results - 4th December 2016

The pressure continues to build in West 3, with a few high scoring games ensuring their excitement levels don’t lag behind West 1.

West 2 Results - 4th December 2016

By comparison to the fast and furious pace of West 1, West 2 is a sombre affair, more, steady as she goes.


West 1 Results - 4th December 2016

It's not that it needed it, but West 1 got an extra shot of excitement over the weekend.

West 1 - Mid-season Report

To make sure they're not being left behind by the rest of the West Regional Leagues, West 1 are also treating their interested parties to a scrap for the sole promotion place.



At the half way point, both East Kilbride and Newton Stewart are still unbeaten, with the two of them having drawn two games each - East Kilbride are on 46 points whilst Newton Stewart are on 40, but they have a game in hand.  Newton Stewart have the slightly better points difference which could be crucial at the end of the season.

West 2 - Mid-season Report

As with West 3, West 2 is turning into a tasty wee contest at the top, though things are a little less exciting down the foot.



McLaren pulled out of the league early doors, so it leaves a league of 9, which potentially means no relegation, but that's not certain as the relegation battle in National 3 can have an impact.
