| SATURDAY WIN WOULD HELP TO STEADY THE SHIP |
| Fri 29th Jan 2010 |
The Greens tomorrow venture to the South side of Glasgow to fulfil the first of their six remaining engagements in Scottish Hydro Electric National League Division 2.
A win against bottom-side Cambuslang would help seady the ship after a sticky spell in which they have lost three of their last four matches.
A victory would also bolster their chances of a top-half finish to the campaign.
Coach Colin Sangster is calling on his squad to bounce back from Saturday's demoralising reverse to Lasswade.
"It was an all-round poor performance", said the coach. "What is particularly worrying s that it wasn't just a case of it being 'one of those days'.
"There's a recurring theme emerging of us being found wanting when we are being put under pressure by the better teams in the league.
"That affects our performance and we find ourselves a few points behind and then we try to play catch-up."
Sangster said the loss of flanker Stevie Campbell early on was a major blow while a misfiring at the half-back link and a huge turnover count blunted their attackiing threat.
Sangster is looking for a reaction against Cambuslang, who are battling to save their skin.
Norman Foubister could fill in the scrum half, subject to work commitments and his recovery from a sternum injury.
Winger David McCarthy is available again and Andrew Sangster returns to the back row.
League leaders Greenock Wanderers were fully stretched on Saturday before prevailing 24-19 away to Preston Lodge.
Glasgow Accies maintained their promotion challenge with a runaway 48-0 home win over Stewartry.
Highland completed a league double over Kilmarnock after their 9-0 victory over the Ayrshiremen in Inverness moved them a point behind Caithness.
Cambuslang's survival hopes took a knock as they went down 22-12 in Newton Stewart, while Hawick YM continued their impressive home form with a 33-24 defeat of Waysiders Drumpellier.
