The Warriors are back at Ochilveiw tomorrow where they take on Elgin City in the cinch league two with the home side hoping to make it eight wins on the bounce.

The Warriors come into the match hoping to build on last Saturday’s victory where they beat East Fife 2-1. Early goals from Euan O’Reilly and Matty Yates saw Stenhousemuir run into a two-goal lead, however East Fife got one back lateon and made it a nervy ending to the match.

The Warriors made history on Saturday when they won seven games in a row in all competitions for the first time in the club’s history and maintained their five point lead at the top of the league

Gary Naysmith previewed the Elgin game saying “They’ll have a want to put their bad run of form right. But we have hit a really good run of form at home recently and we’ll look to continue that on Saturday.”

Darren Jameson highlighted the importance of staying sharp in training ahead of the match. “We need to keep preparing the same way as we always do. We need to make sure the fitness levels stay high, and we’ll go into the Elgin game hoping to get another three points”

Elgin come into the match not having the season they would have hoped for so far. They sit in 9^th place in the league with only three league wins all season.

The points were shared the last time the two sides met back in October up at Borough Briggs. Adam Brown opened the scoring in the first half before Ross Meechan was dismissed, then the home side got a late equalizer.

Elgin slightly edge the head-to-head record with 19 wins to Stenhousemuir’s 17. There have also been seven draws in the 43 encounters.

Elgin will come into the match hoping to bounce back from consecutive 4-0 defeats away at East Fife and at home to The Spartans.
