Round Up: Men’s National Indoor Leagues

It was a full fixture schedule across the Men’s National Indoor League today, with all five divisions in action.

National Indoor League Division 1

Two wins for Inverleith over Glynhill Hotel Kelburne (7-4) and Dundee Wanderers (6-5) maintained the Edinburgh side’s slender one point advantage over title rivals Grove Menzieshill at the top of Division 1.

The Taysiders recorded comfortable wins over Harris Academy FP (11-1) and Grange (7-2) to take the chase for the league championship into the last weekend, when a likely title decider between the two pacesetters is scheduled for the last match of next Saturday’s session at Bell’s Sports Centre.

Elsewhere, Grange slipped a place down to fourth in the table following their defeat to Grove Menzieshill but recorded a win over Western Wildcats (5-2). Glynhill Hotel Kelburne moved up a place with wins over PSL Team Sport Clydesdale (6-4) and Harris Academy FP (9-2).

At the bottom, Harris Academy FP are relegated to Division 2 next season despite recording their first win of the season over Western Wildcats (7-6).

It looks likely that PSL Team Sport Clydesdale will join them in Division 2 next season after the Wildcats took a giant step towards safety following a crucial 8-5 win over their Glasgow rivals in the last match of the session.

National Indoor League Division 2

In Division 2, Inverleith II moved two places up from the bottom of the table with an important win over Stepps (5-2), although they also lost to AAM Gordonians (7-5).

Relegation rivals CALA Edinburgh drew with Alpha Data Carnegie (2-2) and Falkirk GHG (3-3), while Carnegie are also beginning to feel the pressure of the drop following a 6-3 loss to Grove Menzieshill II.

At the top, it’s as you were; leaders Hillhead disposed of Stepps (6-4) and AAM Gordonians (8-3), while Grove Menzieshill II won their second match against Falkirk GHG (7-4).

National Indoor League Division 3

Watsonians have opened up a five point gap at the top of Division 3 following a comprehensive 11-3 win over promotion rivals FMGM Monarchs and bottom side Dundee Wanderers II (17-2). Monarchs slipped to third after a 5-5 draw with Quasar.

McWhinney Uddingston moved into second place with victories over Granite City Wanderers (11-3) and Glynhill Hotel Kelburne II (7-6), although lost to Quasar (4-5).

Glasgow University beat Grange II (8-2) and East Kilbride (7-3), while third place PSL Team Sport Clydesdale II defeated Alpha Data Carnegie (8-2) and Waverley Inveresk Trinity (9-5).

CALA Edinburgh II moved off the foot of the division with a 7-5 win over Waverley Inveresk Trinity, but lost to Grange II (3-7) and Alpha Data Carnegie (1-5).
