Arnold Clark Premierships feature match: Hillhead Jordanhill v Cartha Queens Park

Hillhead sit top of the second stage division two with three games remaining, and 14 points clear of the chasing Biggar RFC.

Cartha, on the other hand, are without a win after the split, and only a point safe from chasing eighth placed Garioch. The lowest ranked team at the end of the normal season goes into a relegation playoff series against the three top finishers from the regional leagues.

The majority of the Arnold Clark Men’s Premiership is on a break until Saturday 22 November, due to the remaining Quilter Nations Series matches taking place on November 16 and 23, but will see a catch up game take place between Hawick and Ayr this weekend.

Three things to watch out for this weekend:

• Stirling County takes on Corstorphine on Saturday. A win for County locks them in for a berth in December’s final, while it’s do or die for Cougars as they chase Watsonians in second.
• Watsonian FC travel to Goldenacre to face Heriot’s. A win for Watsonians and a loss for Cougars would secure Watsons a final berth against Stirling County.
• Ayr host Hawick in an Arnold Clark Men’s Premiership catch up game. Ayr sit top of the ladder, with Hawick rock bottom, both with a game in hand.
