Match of the Day

Ormiston Primrose v Musselburgh Athletic

East of Scotland Qualifying Cup Second Round

Kick-off 2.30pm

BOTTOM tier of the EoSFL hosts the top tier as Ormiston Primrose welcome Musselburgh Athletic.

The two sides have not been regular foes in recent years and the Honest Toun team are playing at New Recreation Park for the first time.

Guy Kerr’s side have made a solid start to life in the Third Division but know they will need to be at their best.

Musselburgh travel after losing their winning start in the league after going down to Dunipace last weekend.

Kick-off 2.30pm

SEARCHING for that winning formula are Dunbar United.

Kevin Haynes and his side have been unlucky to have only taken two points from a possible 12 this season.

The cup brings something else to concentrate on and they have an interesting test against West Calder.

The West Lothian side top the Second Division and will be full of confidence on their visit to New Countess Park.

Edinburgh University v Tranent

East of Scotland Qualifying Cup Second Round

Kick-off 2.30pm

MANAGERLESS Tranent look to keep up that winning feeling after two victories in a row.

The Scottish Lowland Football League (SLFL) team make a short trip to Edinburgh University, who were relegated from the SLFL at the end of last season.

Tranent will be favourites to progress but know they cannot underestimate their opposition.

Dean Brett has been a regular goalscorer for Tranent as of late.

Haddington Athletic v Sauchie Juniors

East of Scotland Football League Premier Division

Kick-off 2.30pm

JEANFIELD Swifts ended Haddington’s unbeaten start to the league season last weekend and the Hi Hi have an immediate chance to get back to winning ways.

Victory for either Haddington or their guests could be enough to move them to the top of the EoSFL Premier Division table.

Strong home form is likely to be crucial if Scott Bonar’s men are to improve on the inconsistency of last season.

Crossgates Primrose v Preston Athletic

East of Scotland Football League First Division

Kick-off 2.30pm

INCONSISTENCY was something that plagued Preston Athletic for much of last season.

The Pennypit men have won one and lost two of their opening three league encounters this term.

Thirteenth in the table at the start of play, a win would move them all the way up to fifth spot.

Crossgates sit one point above them in the early league table.
