Sound defence boosts leaders
League leaders Glasgow City welcome third placed Kilmarnock to Glasgow Green this weekend in what City Manager Peter Caulfield is sure will be a tough encounter.
He said, “We are really looking forward to playing Kilmarnock this Sunday. They always make it very difficult and have given us some great games in the past. But we have started the season very sound at back, with all of our work on the training ground beginning to pay dividends. Similarly we have been scoring lots of goals and as a Manager I couldn’t be happier with that. We will definitely be trying to focus on carrying our good form into this week’s game. We are in a great position just now and that is solely down to our play all over the pitch, and we will be desperate to keep our momentum going against Killie.”
Kilmarnock have started the season fairly brightly and a win would not only seriously affect City’s League Championship hopes, but it would also keep Killie in the running at the top end of the table. After being ousted out of third spot last year by Edinburgh, Kilmarnock fans will be desperate that their team regains their top three status.
Elsewhere Queens Park host Forfar, and with the two sides separated by only one point at the moment, the Spiders will see this as one of their most important matches of the campaign so far. Sitting third from the bottom, three points for Queens could lift them away from the relegation zone and will no doubt be a much needed confident boost for the young side.
Sunday’s full fixture round up: Glasgow City v Kilmarnock, Hibernian v Vale of Clyde, Edinburgh v Raith Rovers, Hamilton Accies v Aberdeen, Queens Park v Forfar Farmington.
