We are pleased to announce that arrangements have now been finalised for the 2nd West Sportsman's dinner. Following on from the tremendous success of our inaugural dinner in 2011 we have decided to go for a repeat performance. The dinner will again be held at Hillhead Sports Club with catering being supplied by Cafe Source.

For more information, please see full details in the Upcoming Events page.

Thanks to those who have already sold and returned their Grand Summer Draw 2012 Books - we have made a promising start.
HOWEVER, there are still a lot of you who have not returned your sold Books (and money). Please don't wait until the last minute. I want to be able to watch some cricket (against Clydesdale at West) on 25th!!
The Draw will be made at 10pm on Sat 25th August during "The Nearly End of Season Party" which I hope will attract a large attendance of members and friends from 7.30pm. BE THERE - SUPPORT YOUR CLUB and have a great evening.
Sold Books can be left behind the Bar in an envelope marked - GRAND SUMMER DRAW - or posted to me at 8 Cairnhill View, Bearsden, G61 1RP.
Just over 2 weeks to go - I know I can rely on you ALL to make this fundraiser a resounding success for West. Thank you.

McCrea FS West lost to Arbroath United by 3 wickets in The Cricket Scotland Trophy Semi Final at Lochlands Park. Having elected to bat, we struggled to 30 for 4, at which time Ian Young and Ross Brown, who both scored 34, put on 53 for the 5th wicket, before Ross was run out. Ian's watchful innings ended at 109 for 6 and contributions from Cammy Gibb (22) and John Blain (18 not out) stretched the final total to 143 in the 50th over. Probably 30 runs short! The excellent Arbroath tea was then partaken by all!!
In reply, Arbroath accumulated runs steadily through their innings and it was a case that we had to bowl them out to win. Their pro (H Vithana) scored 32 and Calvin Burnett followed up his 5 for 25 with a match securing innings of 32. Arbroath reached their target of 144 in the 43rd over for the loss of 7 wickets - John Blain 3 for 23 in 10 overs and Ricky Martin 2 for 27 in 9 overs.
While Glasgow suffered another day of torrential showers, after a cool start, Arbroath produced a taste of summer which the large crowd thoroughly enjoyed.

McCrea FS West lost to Drumpellier by 4 runs (Duckworth Lewis) after rains of biblical proportion turned Hamilton Crescent into a raging torrent!
Drumps 187 for 6 in 50 overs, Craig Brown 3 for 43, McCrea FS West 100 for 4 in 31.1 overs, Dougie Lockhart 26, Anjan Luthra 23 not out.
No other games in the Western Premier Division produced results so we are still third.
Better Duckworth Lewis luck for Partick who reached 181 in 50 overs against Langloan in Coatbridge. Langloan had reached 97 for 5 in 34 overs when the heavens opened but, this time, D/L prevailed in favour of Partick, who, this morning, sit proudly at the top on The Western Premier Reserve League. GO TEAM JG!!

Last night we eventually progressed to the Quarter Finals of The Greenwood Trophy after a 52 run victory over Renfrew at Hamilton Crescent. GHK (away) are next on the radar.

This is a pivotal weekend for McCrea FS West's 2012 Season.
On Saturday we play Drumpellier at Hamilton Crescent in the CS Western Premier Division starting at 12 noon. To maintain our challenge to Clydesdale and Dumfries a win is essential. On Sunday we travel to Arbroath to challenge Arbroath United in the Semi Final of the CS Trophy - again a 12 noon start.
Victory in both these games will lead to an exciting run in over the next 4 weekends.
On Saturday we welcome Douglas McCrea, our main sponsor, and his guests wishing them a great afternoon with us.
Other Senior matches are Partick v Langloan in Coatbridge on Saturday and on Sunday the 3s entertain Queens Park at HC.
On the Junior front, on Friday under 15s play Clydesdale at home with the under 11s away to Glasgow Accies while on Monday the Under 18s play NVT Poloc at West.

The Western Warriors Under 18s had an easy victory over Caledonian Highlanders Under 18s today at Hamilton Crescent.
CH under 18s 89 all out in 43 overs, WW under 18s 90 for 2.

Last night's Greenwood Cup was postponed until this evening. Our 3s versus Renfrew.

Many congratulations to West's own Lynne Dickson on her selection for the Scottish Wildcats squad that will compete in the European section T20 World Cup qualifiers in Ireland from 14th to 16th August.
Good luck, Lynne.

Monday evening saw the cancellation of the Under 18s match at Coatbridge while the Under 13s beat Helensburgh at Hamilton Crescent.
Tonight the 3s hope to play Weirs in the South Side.

On Wednesday evening (weather forecast ignored) the much delayed 2nd Round Greenwood Cup match (due to be played by 12th June) will take place between our 3s (Hamilton Crescent XI) and Renfrew. The winner will play GHK (away) in the next round.
On Thursday, with an 11am start, we are delighted to host the Inter-Regional Competition between the Western Warriors Under 18s and the Caledonian Highlanders Under 18s.
Two matches well worth watching!
