“The team showed good form in their recent tens tournament with club captain Allan Drysdale leading by example.”

The weekend’s game, sponsored by Allson Wholesale, kicks off at Waid Park at 3pm.

Waid are away from home the following weekend as they travel to meet Bannockburn.

Other clubs the Anstruther side will meet this season include Grangemouth 2XV, Creif and Strathearn, Howe of Fife 2XV, and Rosyth Sharks.

The Waid 10s tournament was played on August 12 and honours went to Madras who returned to St Andrews with the trophy.
