There’s a Saturday morning kickoff brewing with serious edge as Woodbank AFC host Third Lanark Amateurs this Saturday morning in the Hills Solicitors Colleges Championship.

🔥 Match Preview

Previous Meetings

History between these two sides is perfectly balanced—two meetings, one win each, both sides defending home turf with pride. That makes this encounter even more intriguing, as someone is set to break the deadlock.

Their most recent battle in January saw Third Lanark take control with a convincing 3–1 victory. But rewind a few months to August, and it was Woodbank who edged a thrilling 3–2 win in the Bunrigh League Cup. Expect goals—and expect drama.

RECENT FORM

Form tells a slightly different story. Woodbank have been steady if unspectacular, picking up two wins and a draw from their last five. Meanwhile, Third Lanark have been sharper, winning three of their last five and showing greater consistency overall.

The league table backs that up. Third Lanark sit comfortably in 5th with 24 points from 13 matches, while Woodbank find themselves in 11th with 15 points. On paper, the visitors have the edge—but football isn’t played on paper.

The Gaffers

These guys are fairly new to each other and have one win each so today should be an interesting battle.
