Marr face a tough trip to Myreside

Despite a good performance in poor conditions last week, Marr came away with 0 points from their home tie against Dundee HSFP which means we are now in a relegation dog fight. This week we travel to Myreside (possibly for the first time?) to take on 4th placed Watsonians.

In September, in our first ever home game in the 2nd tier, we welcomed Watsonians to a packed out Fullarton. Watsons dominated with a clinical display and the final score finished 15-40. Filled with quality players such as Simon Taylor (needs no introduction), number 8 Rory Drummond & scrum-half Brian Walls (who has one of the best boots in the league) Marr will have to be on top form if they wish to come away with points

It will be a 3pm KO under the lights at Myreside.

To team news and the experienced trio of Johnny McClung, Scott Nimmo & Aaron Rankin drop out through work commitments. Phil Siave & Angus Johnston continue their recovery from injury. The back row is re-shuffled with last week's man of the match Kyle Vallance at 6, Paul Burke returns to the starting line up at 7 and Fraser Grant takes the 8 jersey. Ali Walker makes his first competitive start of the season

Phil Siave (injury) Scott Nimmo (work) Aaron Rankin (work) Johnny McClung (work) & Angus Johnston (injury) are all unavailable for selection.
