Weekend Preview: Stakes High in the Boca Championship

The weekend is almost here, and for the teams in the Hills Solicitors Colleges Championship, it’s looking like a soggy Saturday at the office. With heavy rain forecast across the region, these six fixtures are set to be a true test of grit and “muddability.”

Here is the lowdown on all our scheduled games.

After years of following the GCFA week in, week out, Hugh Dunnit brings his take on today’s fixtures. These predictions aren’t about form charts or guesswork — just experience, league knowledge, and how games like these usually play out on a Saturday morning.

THE LEAGUE TABLE & FIXTURES

Fixture previews

Netherton AFC V Busby AFC

Busby Chasing the top spot

Second-place Busby AFC take on Netherton. Busby have been clinical this season, with seven wins from eight games. If Rhu Colts slip up and Busby take care of their own business, the top spot could change hands this weekend.

Hugh’s Prediction – Netherton AFC 2 Busby AFC 4

Glasgow Ansar v Southside United

The Resilience Test

Glasgow Ansar have played more games than anyone else in the top five (13 matches), but their form has been a bit of a rollercoaster. They come up against a Southside United side that is tricky to beat. Ansar need a win to keep pressure on the top four, but a -9 goal difference shows where they’ve dropped points.

Hugh’s Prediction – Glasgow Ansar 2 Southside United 2

Rhu Colts v Port Glasgow Boys Club

The Battle for the Top Spot

Current leaders Rhu Colts entertain PGBC Amateurs. While the Colts sit in first, PGBC are the league’s dark horses—they haven’t lost a single game yet (4 wins, 1 draw) and have plenty of games in hand.

A win for PGBC could blow the title race wide open.

Hugh’s Prediction – Rhu Colts 2 Port Glasgow Boys Club 2

Kings Park United v Third Lanark AFC

The “Heavyweight” Clash: 3rd vs 4th

This is the fixture of the day, with two points separating the sides. Third Lanark sit third with a +20 goal difference, while Kings Park have played a game more and sit just behind them.

Hugh’s Prediction – Kings Park United 3 Third Lanark AFC 3

Woodbank FC V Greater Croftpark Rose

The Mid-Table Scramble

Woodbank are in the lower half of the table, while Greater Croftpark Rose are looking to secure a top-six place. Croftpark Rose come into the game with a balanced record of four wins and four defeats

Hugh’s Prediction – Woodbank FC 2 Greater Croftpark Rose 2

Lokomotiv Glasgow v DTI AFC

Survival Scrap

At the other end of the table, DTI are still searching for their first point of the season after 12 tough outings.

They face Lokomotiv Glasgow AFC, who will be looking to pull themselves further away from the bottom two.

Hugh’s Prediction – Lokomotiv Glasgow 3 DTI AFC 0
