Action packed weekend ahead for women’s game

The semi-finals of the Women’s Arthur McKay Scottish Cup and Plate competitions take place at Peffermill this weekend with some familiar names competing for a place in the finals on Saturday 25 May.
East meets West when CALA Edinburgh and Milne Craig Clydesdale Western clash in the first semi-final (12.00). This should be a close contest if the proceedings mirror the two results from the Aberdeen Asset Management National League; CALA took the spoils in 2-1 home victory last November, with their Glasgow rivals winning the return fixture 1-0 last weekend.
In the second semi-final (14.00), Edinburgh University are tasked with trying to halt the Grove Menzieshill juggernaut as the Dundonians target a league and cup double this season. Charlotte Jones’ side narrowly won the league contest 2-1 back in November last year so they won’t find it easy against the students. However, they will start as favourites.
In the Women’s Arthur McKay Scottish Plate semi-finals, Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 2 side Erskine Stewart’s Melville have the challenge of overcoming Division 1 opposition in the form of local rivals Grange EL (10.00), while Division 2 leaders Watsonians will take on Championship side Glasgow Accies in the other last four contest (14.00).
On Sunday, league competitions take precedence again with Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 2 fixtures scheduled.
Leaders Watsonians can open up a four point gap over second place GHK Ladies if they can notch a win away to Borders Fjordhus Rievers (14.00, Tweedbank).
At the bottom there is a huge relegation crunch match as Haddington Ladies travel to face Glasgow University (12.00). A win for the East Lothian side would take them four points clear of their opponents.
Third place Erskine Stewart’s Melville play Highland in the day’s other fixture (13.15, Bught Park).
With the title and promotion places already determined in Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 3, the sides below the top two are now playing for final league positions.
Aberdeen University will welcome Stirling Wanderers and Stirling University to Aberdeen Sports Village on Saturday and Sunday, while Bon Accord also have two home games this weekend; champions AAM Merlins Gordonians come calling on Saturday (12.00, Cults Academy), while Stirling Wanderers are the visitors on Sunday (12.00, Cults Academy).
Also on Sunday, AAM Merlins Gordonians are away to St. Andrews University (12.00, St.Andrews University), while Aberdeen Ladies welcome Strathclyde University (12.00, Hillhead Sports Centre).
Finally, the District Cup and Plate semi-finals will take place at Aberdeen Sports Village on Sunday.
Last year’s beaten finalists Orkney will be aiming to reach the final for the third year running when they play East Kilbride A (10.00), while Shetland face Milne Craig Clydesdale Western IV in the second semi-final (12.00).
In the District Plate semi-finals, Grange EL B play Perthshire (14.00) and Kinross take on Hillhead II (16.00).
