Leith go into this weekend's fixture with the Edinburgh University Medics looking to halt a winless run of 3 games, stretching back to the Edinburgh Northern home game, and against an opposition who have had an impressive start to the season, albeit coming off a defeat to Langholm last time out. The Medics, who Leith beat 45-24 in a highly entertaining game on their last visit to Academy Park, currently sit 7th in the East 2 table and will present a considerable challenge. With both sides looking to move the ball, we should be in for a cracker. Get down to Academy Park and cheer on the boys in a 3pm KO. (Bar open from 1.30pm)

Check back here for team news later in the week (Thursday).

Meanwhile the 2s will be making a trip to the Borders, to take on Duns RFC at Castle Park, looking to improve on a record of 3 wins/3 losses (all games played) in the East Region Development League, as they target elevation in 2018/19.
