After a 10am inspection the Wishaw v Forth game goes ahead at the Beltane. Kick off 13:45.
Wishaw Juniors v Forth Wanderers Preview
Forth are scheduled to face Wishaw at the Beltane tomorrow afternoon, although apparently there is talk of the match being moved to Kingshill. Forth officials are waiting to hear back from Wishaw regarding this and I'll post and tweet once the venue has been confirmed.
The teams met in the Sectional League Cup way back in July and played out an uninspiring goalless draw although this will have little relevance as both teams will undoubtedly be much changed.
Wishaw currently lie seventh in the division having played 8 games, won 3 and lost 5. They've scored 16 goals and lost 26. Their latest result was a good 3-1 victory away to Blantyre Vics last Saturday, which should serve notice that the Wanderers will have a tough game on their hands.
Forth, who can take heart from a good friendly performance against Rob Roy last Saturday, have Barry Canning suspended and Marc Napier doubtful, but otherwise manager Jamie McKenzie has a full squad to choose from.
McBookie Odds :
Wishaw : 9/2
Draw : 5/1
Forth : 2/7

Forth Wanderers 2 Kirkintilloch Roy Roy 3
Forth lost 3-2 to Rob Roy this afternoon in an entertaining friendly played at Bathgate Sports Centre.
The Wanderers took the lead through Kris Jarvie but were quickly pegged back by the Rabs who then scored again to take the lead. The impressive Tony Traynor then fired an equaliser for Forth prior to the break.
A second half goal for Rob Roy completed the scoring although both teams had further chances to score and both rattled the woodwork. For Forth, Bryan Felvus, back from injury, screwed a shot wide and Martin Harty rattled the inside of the post after timing his run perfectly to meet an excellent through ball.
Overall a decent run out for the Wanderers who at no point were outclassed by their Super League opponents.

Maybole Cup Match on Saturday
The Wanderers are scheduled to take on Maybole in the West of Scotland Cup 2nd round at Kingshill Park on Saturday kick off 13:45. Although the pitch currently still has some surface water, if the weather continues to stay dry there is a chance the game will go ahead.
Maybole are currently top of the Ayrshire District League having won 9 of their 11 games to date and play Bonnyrigg Rose in the 4th round of the Scottish Junior Cup after a resounding 4-1 victory over Fauldhouse in the 3rd round. They will present a severe challenge but one which I'm sure everyone at the Forth is looking forward to.
Should the game fall victim to the weather, the Wanderers have provisionally arranged a friendly against Kirkintilloch Rob Roy presuming the Rabs match with Largs is also postponed. This will take place at Bathgate Sports Centre all-weather with a midday kick off.
Hopefully, one or other will go ahead and we can get 2012 up and running. I'll tweet confirmation once I have it.
McBookie Odds :
Forth : 6/5
Draw : 7/2
Maybole : 5/4
