Busy weekend of men’s league and cup action in prospect

There is a full set of league matches tomorrow, and the Scottish Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, writes our men’s hockey correspondent.

Grove Menzieshill can make their mark at Disc against Uddingston.

Kelburne will be determined not to slip up against Dundee Wanderers.

Perthshire can play out their season perhaps having one eye on achieving third place but almost certain to be at least fourth. Glasgow University should yield three points.

St Andrews University will find it hard going against Watsonians, and Harris can expect no easy game against Carnegie.

Home advantage may not be sufficient for Monarchs against Strathclyde University in Division 3.

Both Dundee first division teams are in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup but with quite different prospects.

Menzieshill are expected to repeat their convincing win over Edinburgh University, especially as they have home advantage.

Wanderers will hope to banish the memories of their recent 6-2 defeat to Grange, but have to travel to Fettes.

Title-chasing Kelburne are unlikely to make any mistakes against Clydesdale.

Inverleith are unlikely to spring a surprise on Western Wildcats.

In the Sottish Plate, Harris will have great difficulty in turning around their league form against Watsonians.

I would have expected Perthshire might have been favourites in their tie, but they have been unfortunate to draw Gordonians.

Neither Menzieshill III nor Wanderers IV have shown any great form in the Midland League and so it must be difficult for either to progress in the Reserve competitions.

Both have home advantage, against Grange IV and Inverleith III respectively.

In Midland Division 1 St Andrews University II should have a straightforward win over Wanderers IV.

Perthshire II may find Dundee University a bit more testing.
