Rubislaw clash will be crucial

There's everything to play for at Rubislaw on Saturday whenGrammar play hosts to Kincorth in the Stewart Milne Group U-15League.

These are the only two sides who have a realistic chance ofcatching the present leaders Hazlehead and a defeat for either wouldalmost certainly put them out of the title race.

The visitors will start favourites to grab the spoils but with somuch at stake they won't be taking anything for granted.

After last week's postponement Cults and Kincorth make anotherattempt to play their U-14 League match at Cults. A win for Kincorthwould leapfrog them above Northfield into the top spot withOldmachar still on their tails.

Neither Mintlaw nor Cults have started well in Division 2 of theCNR International League but a win for either when they meet atMintlaw t could kick-start their campaign.

Torry on the other hand won their first league game of the seasonin the same division just before the Christmas break and will beconfident that they can oust their visitors from Banff from theScottish Plate competition when they come face to face at Tullos.

The draw for the U-15 Scottish Cup has been made and Aberdeenwill be at home to their Lanarkshire counterparts in the quarter-finals at a date still to be finalized.

The winners will travel to either Fife or East & Midlothian inthe semi-final.

Team representatives are reminded that local cup semi-finalsshould now take priority over league matches and ought to be playedat the earliest possible opportunity.
