The 2nd XV still have a chance at the West Reserve Division Two title, but they will need to beat a Cumnock side still also in with a chance and hope that Carrick can beat current league leaders Ardrossan.
The 2nd XV will need to be on the top of their game against their opponents in order to get a result, while it will be fingers crossed that Carrick can win for the first time this season.
But stranger things have happened, and, if the above scenario happens, the lads can return to Annan as West Reserve Two Champions.
Meanwhile, the 1st XV will travel to Cumnock hoping to get back to winning ways after their last outing loss to Lenzie back in early December.
Again it will be a hard match against a Cumnock side who are always a tough team to beat on their own patch. But with a third place finish still a realistic possibility for Annan, the lads will be up for the contest and for the remaining six matches of the league season. Best of luck to both teams. Both games kick off at 2 pm.
On Sunday, the Warriors have their first match of 2025 as they travel up the M74 to take on Lenzie in a friendly match.
The players will be wanting to put in decent shift, shake off any rustiness and give the coaches a nice headache to have on who to select for the squad for the start of the National Plate competition the following week. Kick off at 2 pm.
Four youth teams are also in action this weekend as the club gets back to rugby action after the Xmas break
On Saturday the U18 Boys are at home to Oban Lorne in their first match of the U18 Boys West Youth Quaich and Chairman’s Trophy, 2 pm KO.
And on Sunday there are three squads all in action at Violetbank. The U14 Girls are hosting a number of teams from around Scotland, while the U13 Boys take on Ardrossan (2 pm KO) and the U16 Boys host Loch Lomond (2 pm KO).
