Arnold Clark Premiership feature match: Watsonian v Heriot’s

Watsonian are looking to cling onto a playoff spot tonight as visiting Heriot’s travel to Myreside in red hot form, having won two of their past three matches.

The home side sits fourth in the Arnold Clark Women’s Premiership with a game in hand on second-placed Hillhead Jordanhill, a side that is only one point ahead of Watsonian.

Heriot’s on the other hand are looking to push higher up the table to make the most of their recent form, winning 19-5 over Stewartry and 22-20 over Garioch respectively. Garioch being the side just one spot ahead of Heriot’s on the table.

The Watsonian v Heriot’s match will be played live tonight on BBC ALBA in a primetime 7:35pm kick off slot.

Five things to watch out for this weekend:

  • First plays second in the Arnold Clark Women’s Premiership this weekend, as second-placed Hillhead Jordanhill hosts league leaders Corstorphine.
  • It’s a Glasgow derby in the Arnold Clark Men’s Premiership, as league leaders Ayr RFC host Glasgow Hawks.
  • Neighbours on the men’s table, Marr takes on Kelso – while Edinburgh Accies look to continue a good start to their campaign, taking on bottom of the table, Musselburgh on Saturday.
  • Cartha Queens Park and Stewartry are both looking for their first win of the season as the sides face each other tomorrow afternoon, looking to get off the foot of the table.
  • Watsonian and Heriot’s face each other in the first of a televised double header, as the Men’s Premiership will also feature Watsonian v Heriot’s next weekend on BBC ALBA.
