Match Preview
Wasps buzzing before Berwick clash Alloa will be without goalkeeper Scott Bain and defender Mark Docherty for the visit of Berwick. The pair were dismissed as the Wasps crashed 5-0 to Elgin in their last outing. Recreation Park boss Paul Hartley is looking for his men to banish the memories of their bad day in the Highlands by seeing off the side from over the English border. He said: "We have had a break and recharged our batteries with the players refreshed and ready to get going again. "A win over Berwick will get Elgin out of our systems although it will not be easy. "They won well at Clyde recently and ran Annan close as well so we need to play well to get the three points." Berwick will give striker Stuart Noble a starting slot at his former club. He will be given the chance to cement a first-team place expense of the suspended Darren Gribben. However, defender Chris Townsley misses out against his former colleagues due to a knee injury. Goalkeeper Ian McAldon remains out with a back injury with the Borderers expecting to face a highly-charged home side. Berwick boss Jimmy Crease said: "Alloa will be hurting after their heavy defeat against Elgin and will want to show that was a one-off so we need to be ready for that. "Stuart has a chance to show that he should be our number one striker. He has looked good in training this week and hopefully he will take that on to the park with him."

Match Report
All square for Alloa Alloa stay third in the Irn-Bru Scottish Third Division table following a 1-1 draw at home to Berwick. Graeme Holmes gave the hosts the lead after seven minutes with a close-range left-footed finish, converting Robbie Winters' cross. Berwick were soon back on level terms, however, when defender Chris McLeod nodded home in the 17th minute after Andrew McLean had headed back across goal. Ryan McCord had the opportunity to regain the lead for Alloa moments before half-time but saw his header from six yards cannon against the crossbar following good work from Mark McCullagh on the wing. Ryan Harding thought he had earned all three points for the hosts 15 minutes from time but his header was brilliantly tipped over by Berwick goalkeeper Jamie Barclay.
