We head to Stenhousemuir tomorrow looking to book our place in the Championship Play-off Final.

Things are finely poised as the two sides are locked at one all going into the second leg after Tuesday night’s meeting at Palmerston. Although it was a game we dominated, Gregor Buchanan opened the scoring just before the break but Reece Lyon’s 91st minute strike levelled the game to stop tomorrow’s hosts holding an advantage.

The winners will take on either Alloa or Airdrie in the final next week. With the Wasps one up after their first leg.

Ahead of the game at Ochilview, Manager Peter Murphy said “We are all excited and looking forward to the second leg, we’re all square and it’s all to play for. The games have been tight between us all season and I expect much of the same, but it’s now a one-off winner takes all and it will be two teams that will go at it. Gary's got them really well organised and they work so hard for each other. But with the quality we showed at home, we go there very confident. It's going to be another tough game it's going to be an exciting end and hopefully we get through to a final.”

For supporters heading to Ochilview tomorrow, tickets can be purchased online via the fanbase app.

The game that kicks off at 3pm takes place at Ochilview, Gladstone Road, Stenhousemuir, FK5 4QL.

If you're looking for a break from election coverage or want to take your mind off tomorrow's play-off second leg at Stenhousemuir, then our under 17s are in action at Palmerston tonight. They take on Kelty Hearts in their latest CAS League match with a 1945 kick off.

It was back to Palmerston under the lights as we welcomed Stenhousemuir for the first leg of our promotion play-off semi-final. Ross Stewart had recovered from his recent injury and was back in goals and Jack Hannah was also back after his ankle injury. They were two of five changes made by the manager from the side that started at Alloa, captain Matty Douglas, Kai Kennedy and Nicky Clark were also back in the side. Jamie Sneddon returned to Falkirk after his emergency loan came to an end while, Jordan Allan, Ben Johnstone, Niall Rogerson and Euan Ross all dropped to the bench. It was a very ...

We continue our push for promotion tomorrow when we welcome Stenhousemuir to Palmerston for the first of our play-off matches. The semi-final line-up was decided at the weekend after we beat Alloa to finish third, while the Warriors missed out on the title finishing two points behind champions Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Three of the four games between the sides this season have ended in draws. The first two games of the season between the sides ending all square, a goal-less draw at Ochilview in August was followed by a one-all draw at Palmerston in November, when the visitors scored late to take a share of the points. Back at Ochilview in January it was Stenhousemuir who secured the three points with a two-nil win on their own patch in our first game of 2026. While in March there was again nothing between the teams and the game ended in a one all draw.

Ahead of the match, Manager Peter Murphy said “It’s been really tight against Stenhousemuir all season. They've done exceptionally well and pushed it to the last day and did what they needed to do but Inverness went one better. So, we know it's going to be a really difficult game, but we know what we have to do and we will be prepared as well as we can be. The hard work starts now.”

Queens 17s welcomed St Johnstone to NWCC looking to improve on a 5-0 defeat to Inverness last week. The visitors started better and were comfortable in possession, missing a couple of chances inside the opening 20 minutes. But Queens upped their work rate and finished the half the stronger side.

After a goal-less first half, it was a chaotic start to the second half and five goals in the opening eight minutes saw Queens lead by three goals to two. 

St Johnstone opened the scoring after 90 seconds of the restart, with Lewis White equalising 60 seconds later. Within a minute and a half, the hosts took the lead through William Salfenmoser, however, they were thwarted within the same playing minute, when St Johnstone equalised. 

Two minutes of "calm" followed before a cross from Dylan Craig was somehow knocked into the net by the visiting keeper, although Craig was accredited with the goal. 

Queens kept up the pressure looking to put the game to bed, however, they were hit with a sucker punch in the 90th minute. The visiting attacker latching onto a through ball and lofting it over Isaac Scott to share the points.

Full Time: Queens 3 St Johnstone 3

With the play-offs secured there was still something to play for when we travelled to Alloa for our final scheduled match of the league one campaign. The Wasps held a two-point advantage and were favourites to finish third in the table, but we knew that a win would see us leapfrog them in the table. Jack Stott and Taylor Charters hadn?t recovered from the heavy knocks they?d suffered against Montrose and weren?t available for the game, they were two of three changes made by manager, Peter Murphy. The other player to drop out of the starting line-up was Nicky Clark. With them missing, there ...

Tomorrow, we head to Alloa for our final scheduled game of the league one campaign.

The hosts currently sit third in the division, with a two-point advantage over ourselves so we know that a win at the Indodrill would see us leapfrog our hosts going into the play-offs next week when we would face either Inverness or Stenhousemuir who will finish second. Anything else will see us take on whoever occupies 9th place in the Championship after tonight’s matches.

In the three games so far, Mikey Hewitt scored the only goal of the game at Palmerston in October, while on our last visit to Clackmannanshire, goals from Kurtis Guthrie and Liam Smith earned us another three points but in our game at Palmerston in February it was Andy Graham’s men that claimed the win as Kurtis Roberts scored late on after Reece Lyon had cancelled out Luke Donnelly’s opener.

Ahead of the game manager Peter Murphy said “With third place to play for and the league one top four placings to be decided on the final day of the scheduled season, it’s going to be an exciting afternoon. We weren’t happy with the first half performance against Montrose last week but the boys did well after the break and we managed to get the point to make tomorrow’s game meaningful. We want to finish as high in the table as possible and have the momentum going into the play-off matches.”

Kick off – 3pm

In our latest U19 CAS League match we lost by the odd goal in seven at Airdrie.

Making the step up from the 17s William Salfenmoser continued his goalscoring run with a goal after eleven minutes but the home side scored twice to hold a half-time lead.

They added a third two minutes after the restart before extending their lead in the 66th minute.

Five minutes later Salfenmoser scored his second of the night to reduce the deficit and Callum Hill found the net with a free-kick from 25-yards with just under fifteen minutes remaining. 

The boys pushed in the final ten minutes but couldn’t manage an equaliser and the hosts held out to win 4-3. 

Coach Neil Sturrock said “It was another very young team on the field as we bolstered the side with some trialists and a few of the under 17s. The boys did very well at times scoring good goals. They never gave up and worked really hard as they went toe to toe with an older more experienced Airdrie side. 

We are obviously disappointed in the goals that we lost but we have to take lots of positives from the performance of the players who have stepped up a level which is what we are looking for as we continue to progress.”
