Leith vs Inverleith, Saturday 10th January

The first home game of 2015 sees a visit from up Ferry Road by Inverleith RFC, and a return to competitive action for both after a month-long break.

Following the cancellation of the last round of league fixtures on December 13 due to the weather, Leith's last competitive game was a 39-0 win at home to Earlston, whilst Inverleith won 20-16 at Trinity. Both have been in friendly action since, against Grangemouth and Caledonian Thebans respectively, but will be itching to return to the heat of league battle. A typically well-matched encounter looks the most likely outcome between the sides 3rd and 4th in the East Division 2 league table, so get yourself down to Academy Park on Saturday to cheer the Leithers on!

With Inverleith recently adopting similar colours, it's a #backingblueandpink weekend with Leith donning their change strip.
