Grammar on top but face fight to stay there

Life is tough at the top of Grade 1 and set to get even tougher according to Rob Sweirgon, the captain of Aberdeen Grammar FP.

Grammar are the new league leaders in the top division, but Sweirgon knows his side has a fight on their hands if they want to stay there.

He said: “Six weeks into the season, and it’s clear anyone of a number of teams could yet win this highly competitive league. which is great for the game.

“Hopefully we’ll be up there along with the best of them at the end of what promises to be a long season.”

Leaders Grammar meet fifth-placed Grampian, but such is the closeness of the situation, the positions could quickly be reversed.

Second-placed Bon Accord are at home to Crescent, who ousted the Bons last weekend in the Aberdeenshire Cup, while Knight Riders are away to Master Blasters

Aberdeen, and deposed leaders Cults are at Countesswells where they meet Gordonians who are also in the semi-finals of the cup and due to play Crescent next weekend.

Elsewhere, Siyapa host a game with the inconsistent Inverurie side, who could yet force their way into the title race.

In Grade 2, league leaders Mannofield, the only side with a 100% record, have no game, while second-placed Ellon Gordon face lowly 2nd Aberdeen Grammar at the Gordon Park.

Forres St Lawrence could reach the final of the Nosca senior cup after just one match should they defeat Elgin at Grant Park tomorrow.

After receiving a bye for the opening round of the competition, Forres will host their Moray rivals, who set up the tie by defeating Nairn County.

Ross County will take on Northern Counties at Castle Leod.
