Match Preview

Leith welcome Inverleith to Academy Park this weekend, seeking to build upon Saturday's narrow 10-6 victory over Liberton at Doublehedges. Our visitors got themselves up and running last weekend with a first victory of the season, with an impressive-looking 31-12 win over Earlston. The Arboretum-based outfit had begun the season with a narrow home defeat to Edinburgh University Medics before a couple of heavy reverses at Dalkeith and Portobello, so will be seeking to build on their improvement in fortunes last time out. The teams have faced each other many times over the years, and Leith will hope to continue their good form in the fixture in coming out on top in the last 3 clashes, including both league fixtures last season, having won the November game at Inverleith 13-10 and the home encounter 35-16 in April. A tight game is usually assured between two teams who know each other so well, and your support is appreciated as always. Get down and cheer the Leithers on, 3pm KO.

If you're in the South Edinburgh area around KO time and can't get back to Leith, stop along to Peffermill, where the 2nd XV will be looking to get a first win of a thus far interrupted season as they take on Royal Dick Veterinary College. With competition for places in the 1st XV red hot at the moment, those on show will be looking to prove a point to selectors, and to get the 2s off the mark in 2016-17 in the club's first fixture with RDVC since the East 3 championship-winning season of 2012-13.

Here's to 2 wins, come on Leith!
