Tomorrow night sees the second week of the league cup group stage, and with the honeymoon period, it's down to business.
In group A the Salmon Leap travel to face the Shooters coming off the back of a magnificent 12-2 victory last week. Davie Dewar and Brian Marshall's new team were thrown straight into the fire against a solid Club 2000 team, but came through the tie with ease, although they will need to have full concentration to gain maximum points in Greenhills. Meanwhile The Jacks gained their first point of the campaign with a fine draw with the Shooters and will look to upset the Club 2000 boys, however after last weeks disappointing start to the season, no doubt Chris Bryden will have his players looking to bounce back with a big win.
Both the Murray and the Hunters recorded big home wins to start their campaigns, and this week, the two veteran teams swap opponents, with the Murray travelling to face Cuesters, and the Hunters visiting the Also Rans. Both teams will be looking to take maximum points and set up a showdown next week, however the Also Rans and Cuesters have been steadily improving over the last few years, and are more than capable of getting a result on their night.
The tie of the night takes place in Group C with the Entertainers hosting Greenhills. The 'tainers strolled to a 12-2 win last week in Eaglesham with Iain MacMillan impressing his début, but although the Greenhills fell 8-6 to rivals Top Guns last week, the Entertainers will have to keep their eye on the ball to get a result over the team that caused them big problems last season.
Elsewhere in group C, the Top Guns look to continue their good start to the season as they host the Eagles. Bolstered by the arrival of three Flukesters and Super League A team players Lee Miller, John Muir and Colin Phillip, the Top Guns will be a real force this year and will be looking the break the dominance of the Hustlers and Entertainers at the top.
Champions the Hustlers visit the Tower in group D with both teams coming off the back of solid starts to the season, with the Tower recording a 10-4 victory over Ospreys, and the Hustlers a 9-5 win over the Aces. The Tower drew with Stevie Kelly’s men at this stage in the competition last year, and will be looking to record a similar result again this year.
Lastly the Ospreys visit Whitehills to take on the Aces looking for their first points since joining the league.
