A belated post re the third and fourth rounds of SNCL played at the end of November. In division 2 the first team beat Dumfries before going down to a strong university side who look favourites for that division this year. The first team now lies third in the division. In division 3 the second team made a somewhat scratchy draw with Hamilton B and then beat Inverclyde, to remain in second place. So both teams still have good chances of promotion with good performances next time, which is Sunday 26 February
