MATCH PREVIEW - TRANENT (H)

Tranent are our sixth and final opponents in what has been a busy August in the Park’s Motor Group Lowland League with a 3pm kick off.

The month has seen two wins, two defeats and a draw which has yielded seven of our ten points so far this season. Last Saturday we got things back on track after back to back defeats with a win over Caledonian Braves at Central Park.

After this afternoon’s game we have a run of three games on the road when we visit Cumbernauld Colts, Albion Rovers and Blackburn United.

After Hearts B and Caledonian Braves drew last night, we dropped down a place in the table to 11th while Tranent sit in 13th place 3 points behind us having played a game less.
