District and Reserve Cup and Plate finals preview

The District and Reserve Cup and Plate competitions reach their conclusion this weekend as the Men’s and Women’s finals take place at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre, Glasgow.

Men’s District Cup
In the Men’s District Cup Final, PSL Team Sport Clydesdale II meet Grange II.
The Titwood outfit cruised into the final with an 8-1 win over Inverleith II, while their opponents needed a penalty shoot-out win against AAM Gordonians II to reach Sunday’s finale.
When the two sides clashed during the Regional League Central Division 1 season, it was one win each, so calling the eventual winner may be a difficult shout to make.
Women’s District Cup
Erskine Stewart’s Melville FP II and Milne Craig Clydesdale Western IV will battle it out in the Final to determine the winners of the Women’s District Cup.
The former pupils narrowly defeated Shetland in last weekend’s semi-final to set-up Sunday’s encounter, while the Glasgow side beat Orkney.
Erskine Stewart’s Melville FP II last won the cup in 2012 after a last-gasp win over Orkney so will be hoping for a repeat this year. Milne Craig Clydesdale Western are aiming to go one step further this year having lost last year’s final to the Orcadians.
Men’s Reserve Cup
The Men’s Reserve Cup final features Grange V and Hillhead III.
The Edinburgh side’s route to the final included wins over Dundee Wanderers IV, PSL Team Sport Clydesdale III, AAM Gordonians III and Edinburgh University III.
Hillhead defeated Dundee Wanderers III, Falkirk GHG III, Erskine Stewart’s Melville FP III and Grange III on the road to Glasgow.
Men’s District Plate
Last weekend’s District Plate semi-finals saw Perthshire II triumph over CALA Edinburgh II and Hillhead II dispatch Watsonians II to reach this weekend’s final.
Hillhead are last year’s defending champions so will be aiming for back-to-back successes.
Women’s District Plate
Grange EL III and Madras FP will contest the Women’s District Plate final.
The Edinburgh outfit’s passage to the final was a relatively comfortable affair with a win over Quaser, while Livingston and West Lothian were narrowly defeated by the Fifers on the way to the final.
Men’s Reserve Plate
Aberdeen GSFP III and Rottenrow Blue Sox II square up in this year’s Reserve Plate final.
The Aberdonians defeated fellow Regional League North side Grove Menzieshill III in last weekend’s semi-final, while the Glasgow side beat Dundee Wanderers III.
