Match Preview

Arbroath are out to defeat local rivals Montrose for the first time in four meetings although they may have to cope without Alan Rattray. The defender is struggling with a hamstring problem while Jordyn Sheerin and Robbie Ross remain sidelined. Boss Paul Sheerin is planning changes despite the 3-1 success at East Stirling in midweek. Sheerin said: "David Dimilta was unlucky to miss out in midweek and he has come into my thoughts for this game. "We have not been able to win against Montrose so far and to do that we need to hit a high level of performance again. "Nine points in the space of a week would be a great reward for the effort put in by everyone recently." Montrose could be without seven players as they look to defeat their Angus rivals for the third time this season. Player-manager Steven Tweed, Terry Masson and Jonathan Crawford are injured, Daryl Nicol is suspended and the Gable Endies will really be up against things if Paul Watson, Hugh Davidson and Gordon Pope fail fitness tests. Tweed said: "We are definitely thin on the ground for players but we will look to recapture the fine form we showed in the second half at Annan on Tuesday night. "We battled back to get a point down there and if we maintain that level of performance against Arbroath we will do okay."

Match Report

Dorris treble eases Arbroath to win A superb hat trick by Steven Dorris helped Arbroath to a 4-0 win over Montrose at Gayfield Park to move them into third place. Former St Johnstone trainee Dorris made no mistake from the spot when he converted a penalty in the 21st minute after being hauled by defender Sean Crighton to put Arbroath in front. Dorris doubled Arbroath's lead when he headed in from close range in 62nd minute before completing his hat trick four minutes later with a close range strike into the top right-hand corner. Paul Sheerin completed the rout in the 71st minute when he fired a strike into the bottom right corner from edge of the box for his first goal of the season. Montrose's best chance in the Angus derby came in second half as midfielder Ross McCord shot blasted wide from 30-yards in game dominated by the home side.
