The eyes of the league will be firmly fixed on the clash between third-placed Westhill United and the formidable River Nevis, who currently sit second.

NEW CLUB ALERT – LETS GET TO KNOW LS MEMORIAL
QPSFC vs LS MEMORIAL
Queen’s Park SFC (10th) will be under pressure to deliver a home victory as they welcome LS Memorial. With only one win so far, QPSFC need a strong performance to create distance from the bottom spots. This fixture represents an excellent chance to gather valuable points and inject some much-needed confidence into their campaign.
THE BIG MATCH – QUEENS TAKE ON MEMORIAL
ROSEBANK UNITED v GLASGOW MEDICS
A crucial three points are on offer as Rosebank United (8th) host Glasgow Medics (6th). With only a single point separating the two teams, Rosebank has the opportunity to leapfrog their opponents and solidify their position in the top half of the table. The Medics, meanwhile, need a result to protect their standing and prevent a slide down the tightly packed middle section of the league.
BANKNOCK v REMO FC
League leaders Remo FC (1st) travel as heavy favourites to face a struggling Banknock (11th) outfit that is yet to earn a point. Remo’s perfect record (5 wins from 5) and blistering attack (21 goals scored) make them a daunting prospect. For Banknock, the task is simple but immense: tighten up a defence that has shipped 18 goals and defy the odds to avoid a sixth straight defeat.
CATHCART v BURNHILL FC
The match between Cathcart (7th) and Burnhill FC (5th) promises end-to-end action. Cathcart’s games have been defined by goals—they’ve scored 18 but conceded 21 in just four matches. They host a consistent Burnhill side looking to break into the top four. Expect a high-energy affair where both sides’ attacking intent is likely to overshadow defensive solidity.
WESTHILL UNITED v RIVER NEVIS
The spotlight this Saturday falls squarely on the clash between Westhill United (3rd) and River Nevis (2nd). The unbeaten Westhill side, boasting an intimidating +12 goal difference, will host a River Nevis team that sits just a point ahead of them. This is more than a match; it’s a statement. A home win would see Westhill soar into the runner-up spot and send a clear message to the league leaders, while River Nevis will be battling fiercely to maintain their advantage and continue their formidable run of form.
