Leith welcome unbeaten Ross High to Academy Park on Saturday, looking to get back to winning ways following a disappointing reverse at Penicuik last time out. Our visitors have their sights set firmly on regaining their East 1 place, having been relegated at the end of last season, and come into the game with 5 wins out of 5, and lying in 3rd place, looking to keep the pressure on the top 2.

Games between the 2 sides have invariably been close encounters over recent years, with the Tranent men emerging victorious in each of the last 2, during their promotion season in 2015-16. This weekend promises to be another absorbing game, between two sides who like to move the ball. Your support is immensely appreciated by the squad as ever, so get down to the club on Saturday for a 3pm KO and cheer on the Leithers.

Meanwhile the 2s will make the short trip to Dalkeith this weekend, looking to maintain the momentum generated by the 37-0 win over Caledonian Thebans last time out, and to keep apace with the top teams in the Development League. Your support for the Leithers at Kings Park, in what is also a 3pm KO will go along way to helping them get a 2nd win on the bounce, and a 3rd in their 5 games to-date.

Team News: Craig Winton and Bruce Connelly return to the front row, with a shuffle in the backrow seeing Marcos Teixeira return and Ross Finlay at 8. In the backs Ross Marwick and Ross Kilgour replace Stevie Muirden and Steven Eadie.
