M1s 3-2 Uddingston 1s (A Allan, P Lonergan, S Walker)
Struan Walker’s second half winner gave Clydesdale Men’s 1s their first win in seven league games after beating Uddingston in an entertaining clash at Bothwell Castle Policies.
Andrew Allan had given the M1s a first half lead from the penalty spot. However, the home side equalised twice – once from Allan’s PF and a second time after ‘Dale skipper Patrick Lonergan had briefly regained the lead. The game was settled thanks to a cool finish from Walker to give the away side a valuable three points. The result sees Clydesdale up to 6th in Men’s National Division One, jumping above Uddingston, Dundee Wanderers and Hillhead.
L1s 4-0 GHK 1s (B Shields, S Gillman, E McGregor, Z Mason)
Clydesdale Western 1s kept up in their bid to be champions of Women’s National Division One with a comfortable win over GHK at Old Anniesland.
Goals from Bronwyn Shields, Susie Gillman, Emma McGregor and Zara Mason gave ‘Dale Western a routine win. The win sees the L1s move up to 2nd in the league table, two points off top spot and league leaders Edinburgh University. This was after Uni drew with league challengers Grove Menzieshill on the same day. The results mean if Clydesdale Western win all of their remaining league games, they will be champions of the Women’s National Division One 2017-18 season.
