This weekend Leith host familiar foes Edinburgh Northern at Academy Park in a 3pm KO. Our visitors started the season brightly with wins at Liberton and at home to Trinity, before losing their last 2, at Inverleith and a narrow home loss last weekend against Langholm, while Leith got their first win of the season at Earlston last Saturday following defeats to Barnton, Hawick Linden and Lismore. With both sides desperate for a win, a good game should be assured.

The 2nd XV make the trip to the Borders this weekend, with a visit to Walkerburn RFC's picturesque Caberston Haugh ground, and are keen to return to action, following the withdrawal of their opposition (Barnton) last weekend, which put paid to their 2nd game of the season, following a narrow opening day loss at Ross High.

Availability is good this weekend, and the return of the 3rd XV is a real possibility. Fixture TBC at home at 1pm.
