Gleniffer Thistle return to ScottishPower Regional Cup action this weekend when they travel to face West Park United.<\/p>\n

The Renfrewshire side head to Huntershill Sports Hub in Bishopbriggs on Sunday, 16th August, with kick-off at 2.15pm.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer go into the game second in Regional Cup Group Central-West 2 following their 5-0 victory over fellow Renfrewshire side Houston United at Ralston Community Sports Centre on Sunday, 2nd August.<\/p>\n

That result gave Gleniffer three points and a goal difference of plus five from their opening match.<\/p>\n

Dumbarton currently lead the five-team group with three points after their 3-2 victory over West Park United. Gleniffer are second, with Drumchapel United Women third having yet to play.<\/p>\n

Houston are fourth following their opening defeat, with West Park fifth.<\/p>\n

West Park will be looking for their first points when they welcome Gleniffer on Sunday after narrowly losing their opening match at Dumbarton.<\/p>\n

Houston do not have a Regional Cup fixture this weekend and will return to action on Sunday, 23rd August when they host West Park United at Gryffe High School. The kick-off time is still to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Gleniffer will also be at home on 23rd August when they face Drumchapel United Women at Ralston Community Sports Centre, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

The group continues next month, with Gleniffer scheduled to travel to Dumbarton on Sunday, 6th September and Houston due to face Drumchapel United Women.<\/p>\n

Houston are then scheduled to host Dumbarton on Sunday, 13th September, while West Park United face Drumchapel United Women.<\/p>\n
