The Hi Hi have had a quiet start to the New Year but begin in fitting fashion as they welcome Musselburgh Athletic. Elsewhere in the top flight of the East of Scotland Football League (EoSFL), Dunbar United begin life under Chris King at Whitburn. Preston Athletic look for First Division points when they host Blackburn United while Ormiston Primrose welcome Linton Hotspur in the Third Division.
AN ALL-EAST Lothian contest takes centre stage in the top flight of the EoSFL. League leaders Musselburgh Athletic will be hoping to take advantage of Haddington’s inactivity. The Hi Hi have not played a competitive game since the end of last year.
The Honest Toun team hold a 14-point advantage over their hosts and will be aiming for three more to edge them closer to the title. CHRIS King has had to wait an extra seven days to enjoy his first game in charge of Dunbar United. Last weekend’s trip to Tynecastle was among those postponed and now attention focuses on a trip to West Lothian.
Whitburn have enjoyed an impressive debut campaign in the top division of the EoSFL and will be out to continue that. Victory for Dunbar could lift them up to sixth in the standings and possibly just two points behind county rivals Haddington. RESULTS did not go in Preston’s favour last weekend as they slipped into the First Division relegation zone.
