This coming weekend there is a full fixture list for Men’s Midland League teams with Division One on Saturday and Division Two on Sunday.
The odd teams without games are Wanderers III, in Division 1, and Madras II in Division Two.

In the Championship Leagues, of the two games scheduled, there is Midland interest in the Division Two meeting of Dundee Uni II v St Andrews Uni II at the Riverside Sports Ground.
In the Men’s National Leagues (Division One), Grove Menzieshill host Kelburne at DISC at 4pm and that is a game not to miss.
