Match Preview

Leith take on Lismore this weekend, with both sides looking to atone for losses in their 2 opening fixtures in East 2. While the Leithers have gone down heavily at home to Barnton, and at Hawick Linden, Lismore started off with a 36-24 defeat at Inverleith, before losing their home opener 23-37 against a resurgent Langholm side. Both teams will be targeting their first points of the season in Saturday's 3pm KO.

Meanwhile the 2nd XV will get their East Region Development league campaign underway with a visit to Tranent to face Ross High. The two sides played out an enthralling battle in October last year, with Ross High edging their hosts 57-54 at Academy Park - here's hoping for lots more tries, but a different result! This fixture is also a 3pm KO, so whichever game you get to....let's get right behind both Leith sides this weekend!

Team news available for both squads here by Thursday.
