It’s two home games in a row for East Fife as they welcome the current league leaders Ayr United to Bayview Stadium tomorrow afternoon. The Honest Men arrive in fine form, having won their last eight games and will provide a stiff test for the Fifers as they hope to continue their recent home record. 

Manager Darren Young was left to rue missed opportunities when his side were on top in last week’s 1-1 draw with Stranraer, although the consensus was that the Stair Parkers were certainly worth a share of the spoils over the piece.

The men from Ayrshire have had the better of recent meetings between the teams, coming out on top in each of the last six encounters, including a 3-0 win back in September at Somerset Park. Indeed you have to go back almost to the day four years ago find East Fife’s last success, a 3-2 win down in Ayr. David White was the hero for the Methil men on that occasion, crashing home a last gasp winner after coming back from 2-0 down. Scott McBride was the other player on target with a double, including one from the penalty spot.     

Supporters of both clubs are reminded that they are welcome to enjoy refreshments at the stadium bars before and after the game.
