Grange end outdoor season with Kelburne clash

The last outdoor match before indoor begins features leaders Grange away to Kelburne.

Grange won their first encounter 3-1 at the beginning of November and a similar result must be on the cards for Grange to increase their lead to four points over Western Wildcats and over Menzieshill to five points.

Grove Menzieshill II begin the defence of the Second Division title indoor at Disc with two matches they must expect to win.

The first is against Monarchs, who were promoted from Division 3 last season, at 11.05. The second is against Falkirk at 2.45pm.

Perthshire begin against Falkirk at noon followed by the Midland clash with Monarchs at 3.40pm.

The three local teams in Division 3 have avoided each other in this first series of matches.

The standard of teams at this level can vary from one season to the next but you can be fairly sure Wanderers II and Menzieshill III will do themselves justice.

Harris have a number of talented youngsters in their ranks, as have the other two local teams.

Wanderers III are the only Midland team in the Regional Division along with 11 teams from the Central Belt. To open their campaign having to travel to Forthbank for only one game seems to be a difficult and unfair task.
