Albion Rovers visit the Locality Hub Bayview Stadium tomorrow in a similar situation to East Fife, desperate to rediscover the form that found them in the promotion play-off zone earlier in the season. The men from Coatbridge however currently occupy ninth place in the league, although manager Brian Kerr will have taken heart from last week’s performance which earned his side a 2-2 draw against league leaders Raith Rovers at Cliftonhill.
Bayview boss Darren Young was left a frustrated man following the Fifers’ 3-0 defeat to promotion hopefuls Ayr United at Somerset Park on Saturday past. The Methil men started brightly but lost the opening goal thanks to a deflected strike by Declan McDaid. Two further goals in quick succession early in the second half virtually ended the game as a contest and although East Fife had plenty of possession they were unable to penetrate a well-organised home defence.
Mark Docherty is set to miss tomorrow’s game through injury, together with two further likely absentees. Midfielders Kyle Wilkie and Craig Thomson could feature in the squad after being sidelined in recent weeks.
The sides have secured a win apiece in the two earlier meetings this season. East Fife edged out Albion Rovers in a 5-4 thriller at Bayview in October, with the men from the brig coming out on top with a 3-2 victory at Cliftonhill in December.
Supporters of both clubs are reminded that they are welcome to enjoy refreshments at the stadium bars before and after the game.
Weʼre raising £10,000 to Support 2 child cancer organisations in England and Scotland; Ward E39 of the Queen's Medical Centre (Nottm) and Toby's Magical Journey
Cancer is life changing. It is something that has been the scourge of the earth for many people across the world. Not only does it affect individuals but the hurt also resonates through entire families.
To hear of a child suffering from cancer is something that no one wants to ever experience but it does happen and together with AC Wollaton Charity we are here to fight back.
We are partnering together to raise funds to support the amazing work that two organisations are doing to in the fight against this awful disease; Ward E39 of the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, England who work tirelessly to treat children and Toby's Magical Journey , a Fife charity set up by an amazing young man, 12 year old Toby Etheridge who is on the verge of winning his battle!
We are going big on this one! We are arranging a football match that will see two of the biggest rivals in history compete for glory - England vs. Scotland! AC Wollaton Charity will be heading North in May to take on the mighty Jock's (a selection of Fife's finest - apparently!) in what can only be described as one of the most anticipated games of 2018! Make no mistake this will be a clash of the titan's event but both will be driving towards the same 'goal' - to raise as much as possible for the above causes. The game will be played on May 26th at the Locality Hub Bayview Stadium, the home of East Fife FC in conjunction with Fifers For The Community (FFTC). Large crowds, bagpipes, national anthems, goals, controversy and bucket loads of donations!! expect it all!
