2nd April 2018

Match Preview : Berwick Rangers v Stenhousemuir FC – Ladbrokes League Two

Robbie Horn and the boys return to Shielfield Park tomorrow night for an evening encounter with Stenhousemuir, kicking off at 7.45pm.

The ‘Gers will look to continue a recent run of three games undefeated and gain the victory that recent endeavours have deserved.

Strangely, considering it is early April, this is the first home league game between the sides in Berwick this season. This game has been moved, due to weather, on a couple of occasions and there will be another clash at Shielfield before 2017/18 ends.

Stenhousemuir have won both games Ochilview Park comfortably this season, with an aggregate total of 7-0 for the Warriors.

Berwick News

Robbie will be hoping that everyone recovers well from the weekend and is ready to go again. Gary Phillips and Ouzy See will both be pushing for recalls to the starting 11.

This is the first of two home games this week as Berwick look for a strong end to the campaign. Jamie Todd continued his impressive adaptation to league football with a commanding display at the weekend.

Stenhousemuir News

Brown Ferguson and his side drew 1-1 at the weekend against bottom side Cowdenbeath. That continued a recent dip in form, with only 1 win in the last 6.

Brown commented from the game, “It was a performance full of determination and spirit. I think we should have won come the end of it. It’s still in our own hands and we’re still in the mix”. The Warriors manager referring to the play-off race, where Stenhousemuir now sit 5th, one place outside but with a couple of games in hand.

They also travel to Edinburgh City on Saturday. Mark McGuigan found the net at the weekend and has been doing so regularly throughout the season. McGuigan has 20 league goals for the league campaign.
