Title celebrations for Grove Menzieshill
Grove Menzieshill were crowned the 2012/13 champions of Women’s Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 1 today.
A 1-1 draw with second place Milne Craig Clydesdale Western at Titwood ensured they grained the point they needed to retain their league title.
The Taysiders now have two games left against CALA Edinburgh and Edinburgh University, and with the title in the bag, the next target is to go the entire league campaign unbeaten.
The battle for runners-up and the second European qualification spot is now between Milne Craig Clydesdale Western and Edinburgh University. A win for the Glasgow side at home to CALA Edinburgh next weekend would be enough to guarantee second spot.
Dundee Wanderers defeated CALA Edinburgh 5-1 at Meggetland to ensure they will finish at least fourth.
In the scrap to avoid the drop to Division 2, Western Wildcats moved out of the relegation zone with with a comprehensive 4-1 home win over fellow strugglers Inverleith.
Grange EL also recorded a vital 2-0 success at home to Glynhill Hotel Kelburne to move two places up the league to sixth position.
Meanwhile, in Women’s Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 2, Watsonians are guaranteed to finish in the top two places after a 2-0 win away to Highland today maintained their position at the summit of the division.
However, second place GHK Ladies remain only one point behind the league leaders after a vital 5-2 win at home to third place Erskine Stewart’s Melville FP.
Mathematically, the former pupils are still in with a shout of grabbing second place but it looks likely that it will be a shoot-out between the current top two sides to determine the title and the promotion play-off spot.
Hillhead Ladies’ 2-2 draw away to Haddington means they are out of the running for promotion.
In the only game of the day in Women’s Aberdeen Asset Management National League Division 3, Stirling Wanderers and Aberdeen Ladies played out a 1-1 draw.
