Uddingston refuse to rest on laurels

Uddingston skipper Bryan Clarke believes the best is yet to come from his Western Premier table-toppers.

The Bothwell side, who entertain Greenock today, go into the game with a handy lead over the chasing pack.

But Clarke, who is unavailable for today’s encounter, said: “I still believe we can improve and probably need to. We lost to Ayr on Wednesday in the West League Cup and that probably exposed a few things.”

Uddingston will be captained by Hari Singh while Paul Hoffmann and Gowtham Rai return to the side.

Greenockarebiddingtoend a run of three league defeats but have selection problems with Shailesh Prabhu, Sam Sanghera, Chris Hempsey and Phil Mcintosh all out.

Prestwick travel to Kelburne knowing that victory will keep them hot on the heels of the leaders. The Ayrshire side are in second place and start favourites against a Whitehaugh outfit who are yet to break their duck.

Ayr, the division’s highest scoring team, are also poised to challenge, but must overcome a Dumfries team who are always competitive at Nunholm where they have lost just once in the league.

Having lost four times already, champions Clydesdale can afford no further slip-ups and they should win again at East Kilbride today.

Ferguslie, who were top until last week’s heavy defeat at Uddingston, aim to bounce back when they entertain Poloc at Meikleriggs.
