Garioch will be looking for a first win of the season when they host Heriot’s Blues.

Heriot’s have a mixed start, winning two and losing two of their opening four games.

Garioch captain Nikki Simpson said: “After having two weeks off, there is a big buzz around Garioch to get back on the pitch this weekend.

“We know it will be a tough match but we have worked hard in training to tweak our game plan to challenge Heriots.”

Heriot’s Coach Rhona Hume said: “We’ve had a rollercoaster start to the season where we have shown glimpses of what we are capable of.

“We are looking forward to hitting the road this weekend and will be very focused on nailing our processes and hammering the energy targets as well.”

Stirling County will look to keep their 100% record this season going when they host Corstorphine Cougars.

Corstorphine themselves have only lost one game and sit just six points behind Stirling.

Stirling Head Coach Mark Ainsworth said: “We’re looking forward to hosting Cougars at Bridgehaugh this weekend.

“They are coming off a strong result against Cartha and may prove to be our toughest test to date.

“We had a fantastic first half against Heriots but then struggled in the second half.

“Our target this week is to maintain our focus for the entire game.”
