The club runs a number of teams including:
- 2 Saturday XIs (Western Union Div 2 and Div 5) - 100 over match, max of 15 overs per bowler, with win/lose/draw. There are 4 divisions of 10 teams (18 matches) whilst the 5th has 12 teams (22 matches).
- a Sunday XI (Strathclyde Sunday League Div 1) - 40 overs a side, max of 8 overs per bowler, win/lose. Here there are 3 divisions of 6 sides giving 10 matches so whilst the standard is varied it is generally better than Division 4 of Western Union
- a Midweek XI (Glasgow Evening League & Cups) - 20 overs a side, max of 5 overs per bowler brings you Twenty20 West of Scotland style

2008 Review
Another typical Scottish summer meant we had a bit of a stop start season. However we still managed to play 54 matches this year, 17 were won, 22 lost, 10 drawn and 5 abandoned all, funnily enough, due to rain.
After a promising start both the Saturday sides managed to finish outside the relegation positions in their respective Western Union Divisions. More consistent performances next season, and a bit more luck with the weather, will hopefully ensure we evade the relegation dog fights. After winning the Strathclyde League and Strathclyde Shield in 2007 we were rather disappointed to come 3rd this season behind Paisley and West of Scotland.
