Kelty look to kick on after Cargill departs

Kelty Hearts’ 100% Lowland League record ended last weekend at the hands of Cumbernauld Colts and manager Barry Ferguson will be wanting his side to start again as they travel to Victoria Park to face Vale of Leithen.

Record scorer Stuart Cargill has now left the club for Dundonald Bluebell but Ferguson’s squad still has plenty of goals in it.

Ferguson is expected to have the same squad available with the addition of Murray Carstairs who missed last week’s defeat through suspension.

Hill of Beath have signed Joe Kinninmonth from Junior side Lochore Welfare and the striker comes into Kevin Fotheringham’s squad for the East of Scotland Premier League trip to Blackburn United.

It is a welcome addition to the Haws squad with the manager having to manage without Stuart Hall, Russel Grierson, Kevin Conners, Rikkie Dair, Ricky Patrick, Steven Peggie and Greig Smith, in addition Joe Kirby and Lewis Elder are doubtful.

Crossgates Primrose face Musselburgh Athletic at home and manager Alan Campbell should have the same squad available that thrashed Ormiston 5-0 in the Qualifying Cup last weekend.

Dundonald Bluebell suffered a heavy defeat at Auchinleck Talbot in their Scottish Cup replay last weekend and look to bounce back against Penicuik Athletic at Moorside Park.

Bluebell boss Lee Dair adds new signing Stuart Cargill to the squad after he was ineligible for the Scottish Cup tie, but Craig Wedderburn, Colin Wilson and Lewis McKenzie are all injured and Josh Jefferies is working.

Jeanfield Swifts have had a difficult start to the season with just the opening day win at home to Camelon from their three games.

This weekend Bo’ness United are the visitors to Riverside Stadium and like Swifts they have the one win, however, they have drawn the other two games.

Swifts manager Ross Gunnion is without skipper Aaron Whitehead and Chris McLeish is a doubt but Chris Scott returns from holiday.

Kinnoull continued their great start to the season when they beat Edinburgh United 5-2 at Tulloch Park in the Qualifying Cup last weekend and manager Alan Cameron expects to have the same squad available for the trip to the capital to face HeriotWatt University in the First Division Conference A.

Cameron is without top scorer Dale Smart who is on holiday while David Gray and Jordan Kinnon are injured and Fraser Morrison is working.

St Andrews United look to make it three wins as they host Haddington Athletic in Conference A of the East of Scotland League First Division.

Saints gaffer Andy Brown has a number of selection problems with Ryan McInnes suspended, Ryan McManus injured and Daryl Falconer on holiday.

In addition, Ollie Fleming picked up an injury last weekend and hasn’t trained so is unlikely to feature.

Four wins from five games sees Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts on top of Conference B, a major turnaround in only their second season as an East of Scotland League club.

This weekend sees Swifts travel to the capital to face Edinburgh United at Paties Road. Swifts boss Lee Duffy is expected to have the same squad that beat Tweedmouth 3-2 in the Qualifying Cup last weekend.

Glenrothes welcome Tweedmouth Rangers and Glens boss Barry Cockburn expects to have the same squad that thrashed Craigroyston in the Qualifying Cup.

Oakley United exited the Qualifying Cup last weekend at home to Bo’ness United and once again they are in cup action.

Easthouses Lily are the visitors to Blairwood Park in the South Region Challenge Cup and United boss Stewart Kenny is without the injured duo of Craig Martin and Lee Halpin but Dylan McGowan returns to the squad.
