Scottish Club Rugby Podcast

In this week's podcast - the only podcast to cover exclusively club rugby in Scotland - Stuart and Dale look ahead to Saturday's matches and look back at last weekend's results.
As always, we'd like to thank the following clubs for supporting the podcast - Hawick, Marr, Selkirk, Jedforest, Kelso, Glasgow Hawks, Ayr, Melrose, Gala, Peebles, Stirling County, Berwick and Stewart's-Melville. You can hear from these clubs in every episode of the podcast throughout the season.
In the Premiership, the Kelso v Marr match stands out as perhaps the most competitive. No game for Hawick or Edinburgh Accies this weekend but Currie and Glasgow Hawks will do battle for the second time in seven days, while the Bill McLaren Shield is up for grabs at Stoneyhill where Selkirk are the visitors to Musselburgh.
In National 1 Ayr need just 3 points to win the league title as champions before Christmas against bottom club GHK, which would cap a remarkable unbeaten season, while at the other end of the table Dundee's home game against Melrose could be crucial for them.
National 2 is very competitive but Peebles' win against Falkirk last Saturday has put them at the top of the table, and with Newton Stewart surprisingly losing at bottom club Aberdeen Grammar, and with Lasswade not playing last weekend, it's now in the hands of Peebles if they keep on winning, but this Saturday they visit Lasswade and the result of this game could play a big part in who will gain promotion.
National 3 has top of the table Preston Lodge and Orkney still battling it out to win promotion - both are away this weekend - while things are also getting interesting at the bottom end of the table too with Dumfries, West of Scotland, Cartha QP and Hamilton all in danger.
National 4's Garnock will be hoping their game goes ahead on Saturday - they haven't played for a month but are unbeaten in all 10 matches they've contested so far. At the bottom three teams will make the drop so plenty of interest at that level.
On Rugby Radio this weekend at www.rugbyradio.co.uk you can hear three and a half hours of live rugby direct from Hawthornden with full commentary of the National 2 fixture between Lasswade and Peebles, plus live score updates from across the country and interviews. We are on air from 1.30pm to 5pm.
Don't forget to check out highlights on Sunday of that game on Borders Rugby TV at www.bordersrugby.net and YouTube.
