There are double headers in this weekend’s Aberdeen Asset Management National Division 1 fixture card.
Leaders Grove Menzieshill could take two giant leaps towards retaining their league crown if they can beat CALA Edinburgh away from home on Saturday (14.00 Meggetland) before taking on city rivals Dundee Wanderers in a local derby at DISC (14.30) on Sunday.
The battle for second place and the European qualification spot is a four-way fight; Edinburgh University could emerge from this weekend as favourites for the runners-up spot if they can overcome Dundee Wanderers and Milne Craig Clydesdale Western. No easy task.
