West 1 Update - 17 February 2017

West Region Shield & Bowl Update - 17 February 2017

West Region Shield:
Irvine made their way to the semi final of the Bowl at the weekend with a 17-13 victory over Allan Glens, which gives them home advantage in their semi-final against Newton Stewart. 

The remaining quarter final between East Kilbride and Carrick was off due to the weather, and is now scheduled to be played this weekend. 

The winners of East Kilbride v Carrick game are scheduled to face an away game at Oban on 4th March.




West Region Shield:
In the Bowl, we had two quarter finals played.

Loch Lomond won 26-17 at home against Hyndland, whilst in the other, we also had a West 3 v West 4 contest, but this time it was West 4 team Glasgow Uni Medics who came out on top, winning 22-15 against 2nd top of West 3, Uddingston. 

This gives us a semi final line up of Loch Lomond v Glasgow Uni Medics and Lanark v Strathendrick, both scheduled for this weekend.

Isle of Arran Withdraw from West 3

Isle of Arran have this morning posted to Facebook that following their failure to get a team to play their home game against Strathaven today, that they are withdrawing from West 3.


Arrans withdrawal from the league follows McLaren from West 2, and Glasgow East & Glasgow Alphas from West 4.  On top of those who have withdrawn, there are a number of other Clubs who have failed to fulfill game due to them being short of players. 

We hope that the SRU working Group looking at Club competitions will look into the implications of what is transpiring, at least under their remit of player movements.
