Aberdeen Asset Management Men’s National League Division 1

Round seventeen of the men’s top league serves up some fascinating matches this weekend.  First up is the ever prolific Glynhill Kelburne against Scottish Cup holders Grove Menzieshill.  With Glynhill Kelburne assured of a play off spot the pressure is off, however, they will look to consign their opponents to a mid table finish with three points on Saturday.  A close fought defeat to Hillhead for Chris Anderson’s men last weekend effectively ended Grove Menzieshill’s slim chance of making the play offs, albeit mathematically still a possibility.  A  Glynhill Kelburne victory likely in this encounter.
