1st Team achieve target
New coach, Gordon Shepherd, secures top flight hockey for the 'Dale lads. Let's not foget the players peformed on the pitch to make this target. This will mean the 2nd half of the season will be 5 matches against the top teams in Scottish hockey.
The 2nd team have had mixed results but with 12 points from 10 games look comfortable to retain Regional 1st Division status.
The 3rd team are also having a mixed season with only 10 points grom 10 games. The squad has been hit by injuries which has produced the below par results but the captain is looking forward to the 2nd half of the season when he expects his full squad to be available.
4th team performances have improved on last year with 14 points from 9 games. Captain Amour feels his squad are getting stronger as each week goes by and is keanly awaiting the re-start of the season after the break. for indoor hockey.
The 5th team are having a poor season by their standard. This is to is due to injuries from a number of experienced players. The squad lacks continuity. Captain "Biffo" Henderson is one such injured player but he will hold the squad together for the nest series of games and is sure of retaining the slot in division 3.
The 6th team have not recorded a result this season and again we can identfy a number of injuries holding back team progress. Captain 'hang 'im Gordon does see this resolving itself for the 2nd part of the season. He is pleased that he has been able to bring in more youngsters into the squad.
Ladies - What a performance this season! From 7 leagues games they have recorded 6 wins and a draw. They sit comfortably at the top of their league on 19 points, 4 ahead of the nearest rivals.

Titwood at 2.00pm on Saturday 15th Sep sees the start of the league campaign for this season. The opponents, AAM Gordonians, no doubt will remember the final game game of last season which they lost by 1 goal.

Final Game of Season 06-07
Saturday 11.30am 29th April at Titwood was the start of a nerve racking game for the crowd. The players, however, showed a calmness and maturity beyond their young years (well for most of the team).
An early goal settled some of the nerves and sustained pressure helped keep the crowd happy. The occasional visit into 'Dales half brought on some reaction but with few shots from AAM their was little to get excited about. With the result staying at 1 - nil at half time the crowd moved to the AAM goal end in anticipation of the 2nd half action. They were not disappointed with the action but to no avail. The game ended at 1 - 0 to 'Dale.
This means Clydesdale remain in the 1st Division for the start of next season. AAM will be in the playoff against Uddingston.
On Sunday the 3rd team played Grange Development in the Reserve Cup. With the score at full time being 1 - 1 the game went to penalty flick. 'Dale won 4 - 3 to progress to the final which is at Peffermill on Sunday 6th May 07.
3rd Team gain Promotion
The 3rd Team have been promoted to West District division one following an exciting season. In the district cup they just lost out on Penaties after a 0-0 draw with Western Wildcats III. Alsoway viewed as the underdogs in this match the team performed well above expectations to walk away with their heads held high.
