Can Edinburgh Uni upset champions Kelburne?

 

Aberdeen Asset Management Men’s National League Division 1
Champions Kelburne travel to Peffermill on Saturday to face Edinburgh University, and with both teams having won their fixtures the previous weekend, confidence in both camps will be high.  However, Graham Moodie’s charges will need to be on their game if they are to upset the form guide and defeat the title holders.
Hillhead and Grange will look to get their seasons back on track at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre on Saturday, with the capital outfit yet to register a win to date and Hillhead losing to Kelburne last Friday evening.   When the two sides last met, Grange were comfortable 3-1 winners in Edinburgh.
AAM Gordonians, buoyed by their first win of the season against Dundee Wanderers, travel south to Auchenhowie to face Western Wildcats, who are yet to drop a point this season.  The Wildcats scraped past the Aberdeen side in a seven goal thriller at the tail end of last season.
In Dundee, league leaders Grove Menzieshill host city rivals Dundee Wanderers in a local derby.  Chris Anderson’s men may justifiably carry the favourites tag given their undefeated start to the season, however, Wanderers have shown their potential to cause an upset after an impressive win against Grange recently.
Inverleith’s push for their first win of the season will be put to the test by visitors and undefeated PSL Team Sport Clydesdale.  A defeat to city rivals Edinburgh University last Saturday placed Inverleith at the foot of the table with a single point.  John McKnight’s squad, by contrast sit comfortably in mid table with games in hand after a creditable draw with league leaders Grove Menzieshill at Titwood last weekend.

CALA Edinburgh host league leaders Grove Menzieshill this Saturday.  CALA will be looking to get back to the kind of form which saw them finish in the top half of the table last season, while the league champions will be keen to maintain their impressive defensive record, having not conceded a single goal this season and racking up four wins from four games.
Mid table Kelburne will travel to Peffermill on Saturday looking to tarnish Edinburgh University’s 100% start to their league campaign.  With as many wins as losses this season Kelburne are yet to build up any momentum, while the students have hit the ground running, scoring seventeen goals in only two matches.
Western Wildcats welcome Grange EL to Auchenhowie, with both sides looking to claim their first wins of the season.  Western are precariously placed at the bottom of the table after four matches, but will be hopeful of a points return on their home patch.  Grange are a point better off than their opponents and will be aware of the significance of this fixture for both sides.
Last season’s Division 2 champions Watsonians face G.H.K. in Edinburgh.  The Glasgow side have a point advantage over their opponents having secured a valuable away win against Grange EL earlier in the season.  Watsonians have experienced a more difficult start to their campaign, with heavy defeats against Milne Craig Clydesdale Western, Grove Menzieshill and Edinburgh University.  They did, however, pick up their first point of the season last week against fellow strugglers Grange EL.
The final match of the weekend sees Milne Craig Clydesdale Western and Dundee Wanderers face off at Titwood.  Both teams have started the season emphatically and will be keen to maintain their 100% record in what promises to be a fiercely competitive match.  There is no doubt that both sides know their way to goal, so the match may hinge on the team which is most resolute in defence.
