The men have been hit by a number of injuries and player unavailability in recent weeks but the coaches are hoping to put out 2 full squad this Saturday

The 1st XV welcome Dalziel to Violetbank.

After last week’s great win over East Kilbride, 6th placed Annan have a great chance of closing the gap on 5th placed Dalziel.

Annan still have to get themselves safe from relegation trouble and a win this Saturday would put them one step closer to West 1 rugby again next season.

Will be a tough match as always against the Motherwell based team but confidence it high in the team and the coaches and players will be wanting to put a run of wins together as the season comes to a close.

The 2nd XV have a trip to Hillhead Jordanhill on Saturday.

Last week they were heavily beaten but as Captain Simon Dix put it “For the 15 who went to Hamilton: a tough shift and we were on the back foot for large parts, but the effort and togetherness for the full 80 was outstanding. A lot of boys really stepped up when it mattered.

We might not have got the result, but we learned plenty about ourselves today. Massive effort lads — genuinely proud. Onwards and upwards”

The coaches will be hoping the team can travel in greater numbers on Saturday as having a number of replacements is always handy in this tough league.
