West Regional League Update (Male) - 22 October 2017

There's a change at the top of West 1 following Kilmarnocks convincing 53-14 home win against Helensburgh.  It's not the full story though as both the Glens and Garnock matches were off due to unplayable pitches.  Glens are a point behind Kilmarnock with Garnock another two behind, but both have a game in hand on Kilmarnock.
