The Scottish National League continues this weekend with four fixtures on the schedule as early league positions start to take shape. Every point is already proving valuable.

Aberdeen Lynx travel to Braehead on Saturday for an afternoon face-off with the Paisley Pirates. It’s the Lynx’s first road trip of the season, with the side sitting fourth after a home win against North Ayrshire Wild last weekend and an opening loss to Whitley. The Pirates, meanwhile, are in strong form, coming off back-to-back victories over the Kirkcaldy Kestrels to sit second in the standings. The Lynx took all the points against Paisley last season, but with a new campaign underway the slate is wiped clean. Both sides will be hungry—Aberdeen to climb the table, Paisley to keep their winning streak alive.

The Kirkcaldy Kestrels face a demanding weekend with a home-and-away double. On Saturday they welcome the Sharks, another side still looking to settle after being thrown into the deep end with fixtures against Whitley and Edinburgh. Solway’s limited preparation due to rink refurbishment adds to the challenge, but the potential for both teams to pick up key early points makes this one to watch.

The Whitley Warriors are also on a double-header, starting with a trip to North Ayrshire Wild on Saturday before hosting the Kestrels on Sunday. Wild showed plenty of energy in their clash with Aberdeen last week despite falling short, and they’ll be eager to turn that competitiveness into points. Whitley, unbeaten so far, will look to maintain their momentum and strengthen their grip at the top end of the table.

Sunday’s Warriors–Kestrels meeting rounds out the weekend. With both sides playing the night before, fatigue may play a role, but it promises to be another competitive contest between two teams eager to establish themselves in the early running.

👉 Please note: the scheduled Kilmarnock Thunder v Edinburgh Capitals fixture has been postponed and will be rescheduled.
