The Canary Guide Weekend Tips 12-14 October 2018
This week saw a few cloudy and rainy days across various parts of Gran Canaria. The weather prediction for Sunday and start of the next week is still unclear with the left overs of the Hurricane "Leslie" lurking there in the mid-atlantic, with a promise of some wind, rain and stormy seas out to the west of us. The next few days however will give us a little more certainty for a weekend of sunshine and blue skies, with the odd cloud possible and becoming more probable as we head...

The Saint: Las Palmas V Alcorcón
6/10/18 Las Palmas looking to get back to winning ways, after their first defeat of the season last weekend away to Sporting Gijon. This should be a close game as Alcorcón have the same points as LP but sit one place behind them, in 4th place. Tonight's visitors are based from just north of Madrid. Good start by the home team, as they win a corner in the first 2mins and from it Garcia should have done better at the far post. Another couple of good chances arrive, but both times...

The Saint: Las Palmas V Malaga
23/9/18 Really looking forward to this game as both teams are unbeaten but Malaga having won all 5 games and are top of the league with LP in 2nd. Hope the weather won't spoil it as at kickoff, it's 87f !! (that's 30.5ºC in new money) 2mins in and Malaga have a 1/2 chance but a good save by Raul in the home goal. Another chance for the away side follows 10mins in with a long range free kick but again a good save. LP's first attempt on 14min but the long range shot is well over....
