1st XV and 2nd XV in Midlothian doubleheader, Saturday 17th January, 2pm KO

Both the 1st and 2nd XVs will be heading to Penicuik Park this Saturday to take on our hosts, Penicuik RFC, who are fielding two teams simulatenously for the first time in a few years. Having ourselves experienced this momentous event only last year, it will be an honour to be involved in Penicuik's special day - provided the weather doesn't scupper it.

The niceties shall obviously cease for 80 minutes however, as two clubs who have battled one another frequently over the last few seasons will both be going all out to claim two victories. After a 57-17 win for Leith back in September at Academy Park, Penicuik have been on a great run, winning 5 of their 7 league matches, only coming a cropper against the league's top two, and last time out recorded a huge 75-0 win over Trinity to climb to 5th place. Leith know this will be an incredibly tough match, as it always is down the A702.

Here's hoping for two good games. All those coming through to support the Leithers, location information is available here.
