Both with 100% records and a combined 26 goals scored. Thanks to all our talented bakers who provided cakes and tray bakes for the crowd.

WATER PITCH
Our Ladies 1st team started strongly against Kelburne (Paisley) with an early goal scored by Emma Christie. Two more goals followed from Hannah Mitchell and Gracie Gray-Giles with only one conceded in reply. So that's all three of their opening matches won with 9 goals scored. They now lead the Women's National League on goal difference from Erskine Stewarts Melville Ladies (Edinburgh).

Our Men's 1st team then continued a winning streak of their own with a 4-0 win over Highland HC from Inverness. Chris Moon scored 2, with team captain Peter Serle and player/coach Adam Walker also on the scoresheet. They have scored 17 goals in their three matches and have yet to concede a goal so they lead the Men's National League on goal difference from FMGM Monarchs ( Dundee).

TIGER TURF
Our Men's 2nd team opened their season in the North District League with a 3-0 victory over Granite City Wanderers 2s. The goals were scored by Ian Coffey 2, and James Swingler.

Then our Ladies 2nd team played a closely contested match which was won 4-2 by BA MBC Ladies. Our goals were scored by Olivia Estachy and Fleur Scatterty.

BAKE-OFF / BAKE STALL
Our Ladies 1st team won the bake-off thanks to their efforts which produced "so many amazing bakes" to quote Colette. She also announced the overall winner as Katherine McCoig with "her phenomenal hockey cup cakes". Colette had organised the bake and drinks stall which was enjoyed by so many of our supporters and players and the final words come from Colette : "Huge thanks to all those that made the effort to contribute and make it a fun day, and to those who donated raffle prizes. Thanks also to Jocelyn, Andrea, and Janice for their help and support on the day."
