It’s hard to remember a more successful weekend for Watt football as all four teams swept to convincing wins in their respective competitions.

In the East of Scotland League First Division, the Firsts visited Ormiston and registered a 3 – 0 victory through goals from Ewan Watson, Ricky Burke and Erik Thomson (report on the ‘East of Scotland League’ tab above).  The Under 21s had a tricky-looking away fixture at Murieston United, but made light of it with a 4 – 1 win to rise to fourth place in the East of Scotland 21s YFA League.  The Reserves had their best result in a long time, beating West Lothian 6 – 1 in the Edinburgh West Division of LEAFA and the Sunday team won 3 – 1 away to Sunday Morning League side Polwarth Tavern in the Second Round of the Edinburgh Cup.  Congratulations to all players and coaches – long may this success continue.

Next week’s matches see the Firsts take on Ormiston again in the reverse fixture in the East of Scotland League; the Under-21s have a really taxing game at home to the highly-rated Easthouses BC, the Reserves have an equally-challenging visit to Kirkliston to play league leaders Bowery FC and the Sunday Amateurs go straight to the Edinburgh Cup Quarter-Final with a visit to Roseburn to play another Sunday Morning team, Fountainbridge.  All the best to all the Watt sides for these matches.

With just Sunday’s LEAFA match to go, the Watt sides in action this weekend have a 100% record.  The First Team travelled to Hawick on Friday evening on East of Scotland League First Division business and with goals from Michael Webster (perhaps the best goal the Watt has scored this season) and Ewan Watson, plus an unfortunate own-goal by Albert defender Paul McCallion, recorded a 3 – 0 win over Hawick Royal Albert to climb to third place in the table.  A report appears on the ‘Match Reports’ button on the ‘East of Scotland League’ tab above.

The Under-21 side scored a 3 – 1 win over Division 2 leaders Dalkeith CYP Colts in the First Round of the Stuart Brown Memorial Trophy and the Reserves won by the same score against Beechwood in the Edinburgh West Division of LEAFA.

Next weekend, the Watt travel to Ormiston in the East of Scotland League First Division.  In the immensely competitive and unpredictable Under-21 League Division 1, the Watt side goes to Livingston to take on Murieston United and in the LEAFA Edinburgh West Division, the Reserves has a home fixture against West Lothian, another team in mid-table.  The LEAFA Sunday game has still to be posted on the LEAFA website.

After the postponement of last Saturday’s league fixture against Cramond, the Watt’s Under-21 side has an interesting Stuart Brown Memorial Trophy First Round match this weekend against Division 2 leaders Dalkeith CYP Colts, who have yet to lose a league match this season.  A win in this game would take the Watt side into a Second Round visit to Spartans, who lie second in Division 2, but have lost four matches to date.

Heriot-Watt’s Reserve side will be hoping to make progress in LEAFA’s Edinburgh West Division when they take on bottom-of-the-table Beechwood at Riccarton, whilst the LEAFA Sunday side has a close-looking fixture at home to fellow mid-table side Lothian Athletic.
