Gordonians and Hillhead battling to avoid play-offs

The fight to avoid the Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 1/2 play-offs will be determined this weekend.
The scenario is fairly simple; a win or draw for AAM Gordonians away to Western Wildcats (13.30, Auchenhowie) would ensure they are guaranteed a place in the top division next season.
However, should the Aberdonians slip up tomorrow, second from bottom Hillhead will take on Inverleith on Sunday knowing that a win by three clear goals would make them safe and they would avoid the play-off with the Division 2 runners-up.
Meanwhile, there is a fixture card on both Saturday and Sunday in Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 2.
Aberdeen GSFP are the division’s form side having won their last six games and home wins over St.Andrew’s University and local rivals Granite City Wanderers would vastly improve their chances of pushing for the second place play-off spot.
Likewise, both Falkirk GHG and McWhinney Uddingston will look to press home their case for second place with games against St. Andrew’s University (Sun, 13.30, St.Mungo’s High School) and Stepps (Sat, 12.30, Millerston).
Leaders Dundee Wanderers are in control at the top of the division and a win away to relegation threatened CALA Edinburgh on Sunday (14.00, Meggetland) will push them one step closer to the title. The Edinburgh side face a vital game at home to Glasgow University on Saturday (15.30, Meggetland).
Finally, Highland and Alpha Data Carnegie battle it out at Bught Park (15.15) on Sunday.
In Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 3, the sides below leaders and title favourites Erskine Stewart’s Melville are jostling for the second place promotion spot with only four points separating the teams in second to sixth position.
Second place Harris Academy FP face a tricky trip to Midland rivals Perthshire at Kilgraston School (13.00) on Sunday. The two sides played out an entertaining 5-5 draw earlier in the season but three points will be both teams’ objective as they look to strengthen their promotion push.
Third place FMGM Monarchs host fourth place Ayr (13.00, Riverside Park) on Sunday with the home side hoping for a similar winning outcome for a second time this season following their 4-2 away win earlier in the campaign.
Aberdeen University can also stay in the promotion hunt if they can overcome Giffnock (13.30, Williamwood School).
In the bottom half of the table, Strathclyde University host Stirling Wanderers on Saturday before travelling north to face Stirling University on Sunday (Gannochy Sports Centre).
2020 Renewables Greenock take on Chapman Motherwell tomorrow (14.00, Inverclyde Sports Centre), while Waverley Inveresk Trinity travel to Stirling Wanderers on Sunday.
On Saturday, the Men’s Arthur McKay Scottish Plate semi-finals will be hosted at Peffermill. Erskine Stewart’s Melville face Aberdeen GSFP in the first semi-final (12.00) while Granite City Wanderers will hope to cause an upset when they take on Division 1 opposition in the form of Hillhead in the second last four match (16.00)
On Sunday, places in the Men’s District and Reserve Cup & Plate finals are up for grabs.
At Forthbank, Grove Menzieshill II will tackle PSL Team Sport Clydesdale II (10.00), while Inverleith II face AAM Gordonians II (14.00) in the District Cup semi-finals.
In the District Plate semi-finals, Hillhead II are up against Fidra Lions (12.00) and there is a local derby between Granite City Wanderers and Aberdeen GSFP (16.00).
The Men’s Reserve Cup and Plate semi-finals are at Peffermill. At 10.00, Edinburgh Uni III play Dundee Wanderers III in the first cup semi-final and Grange Development are pitched against Western Wildcats III (12.00) in the other semi-final.
