Well, here's hoping if you're playing today you have more success than we've seen from the pro boys so far this weekend - fortress Myreside is proving not to be, whilst the 7s have just gone down to Russia in Hong Kong.
In the regional leagues in the West, we only have West 3 & 4 to sort out now (and we're not really sure if there will be an end to West 4).

West Fixtures - 25 March 2017
It's semi-finals weekend in the National Shield & Bowl competitions, so there's not too many games in the West Leagues, but the ones we do have are crucial to the promotion and relegation battles in each of the leagues.
In the Shield, Gordonains take on Murrayfield Wanderers and Carrick play Hawick Harlequins. In the Bowl, Strathendrick visit Blairgowrie and Moray welcome Portobello.

West Region Fixtures - 4th March 2017
We're only just welcoming March, but already many of us have said goodbye to the competitive rugby season, with only a few friendly matches remaining to get the boots ready for or the alternative of watching others play the game, either live or on telly.
The big games this weekend in West Region are the Shield semi-final between Oban and Carrick, and the Bowl final between Loch Lomond and Strathendrick. Both are 3pm kick-offs, and would be worthy ways of spending the afternoon if you're at a loose end (weather permitting of course).
The weather's already had an impact on the remaining league games with the Annan v Irvine game being off in West 1, which only leaves Newton Stewart v East Kilbride.
Newton Stewarts victory against Oban in mid-February secured them the league title, so the result from todays game has no impact on things, but Newton Stewart will look to celebrate lifting the title in style.
Whilst the top end of West 1 is all sorted, the battle for ninth spot (and possible second relegation slot) is still relevant and to be decided, though the recent win for Dalziel against Orkney in National 3 means they move a little closer to safety in that relegation battle. The big game in the West "possible" relegation fight is however next week, when Kilmarnock visit Oban in their 9th v 8th contest.
The only game in West 2 sees Cumbernauld visit Cumnock, where really the only thing on the table is Cumnock chance to overtake Waysiders to claim 7th place - a win is needed for this. This is the last game of the season in West 2.
With the Bowl final taking place, there's only one game in West 3 where we have Uddingston visiting Bishopton. Following Arrans withdrawal from the league and their results being expunged, a win for Uddingston puts them top of the table, though they will have played two games more than Strathendrick.
There are two games scheduled for West 4, though (due to the number of unfulfilled fixtures in this league) we'll celebrate even if we get the two of them played. Glasgow Uni Medics welcome Hyndland, whilst Lanark make the trip to Cowal. Two home wins and the Medics could overtake Lanark at the top of the table
Looking at the SRU results page, the last game the Medics played was 29th October, so we'll ask the same question we posed a few weeks ago - is this sustainable?
And whilst West 2 closes today, West 4 is scheduled (assuming no further call-offs) to run until 8th April.

We only had one game in West 4 at the weekend, with Cowal winning the "derby" against Argyll & Bute 53-13. This doesn't affect the top of the table which sees Lanark still on top on 37 points, Mull in second on 34 points, and Glasgow Uni Medics on 33.

West Region Leagues Update - 9th February 2017
What with the Shield and Bowl competitions, and the start of the 6 Nations, there haven't been many West Regional league games to report on in the past few weeks, so we’ll do a quick catch up before this weekends fixtures.

West 4 Update - 13th January 2017
In the top of the table clash in West 4, Lanark scored a narrow 21-18 victory over Mull. The result puts Lanark three points ahead of Mull, whilst Glasgow Uni Medics are in third spot, four behind Lanark. The Uni boys however now have two games in hand on Lanark, so are our favourites for the title.

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 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.
