Carrying their points tally over from stage one, Stirling gained 35 points from their seven matches, with Watsonians winning six from their seven outings – losing only to County, 34-17.

The splitting of the league into a top and bottom four will see a further six matchdays for each team, with the Arnold Clark Women’s Premiership final – first versus second – scheduled to take place on Saturday 13 December.

Stirling will look at this match as a chance to get breathing room from the chasing pack, and Watsonians have a chance to reel the leaders in. Catch all the action broadcast live on BBC ALBA tonight – it’s a 7.35pm kick off.

Five things to watch out for this weekend:

  • Heriot’s women take on Corstorphine Cougars as both sides push for a top two finish and a berth in December’s final.
  • Cartha Queens Park host Biggar as both sides look to keep their heads above water in the relegation fight.
  • GHA take on Watsonians in the Arnold Clark Men’s Premiership – the sides sitting next to one another in the standings, third and fourth.
  • After some early season setbacks, Heriot’s have recovered well to midtable and now take on bottom of the pile, Glasgow Hawks away from home.
  • Currie Chieftains continued on their brilliant form last weekend and will look to cement their place in the top two when they travel to Kelso tomorrow.
