Match Preview

Ure out for East Stirling East Stirling's Derek Ure has been ruled out of the visit of Arbroath, while Alex Walker and Craig Donaldson are also injury doubts. Paul Weaver is struggling through illness, with Craig Tully and Darren Kelly expected to start on the bench as they continue their comebacks from injury. The Shire have scored six goals in their last two games to end an eight-game dry spell, although assistant head coach David Nicholls reckons Jim McInally's men are not doing anything differently. Nicholls said: "We haven`t changed our style of play but have enjoyed some better luck. "The confidence levels of the players have risen on the back of these results, so we are looking forward to facing Arbroath." Arbroath striker Ross Chisholm is available after suspension for the trip to East Stirling and is added to manager Paul Sheerin's squad. Injured duo Jordyn Sheerin and Robbie Ross are expected to be the only injury absentees. The Red Lichties need the three points to move back into a play-off spot, and Sheerin has welcomed the better form a fuller squad has brought. He said: "Our lengthy injury list is clearing up and we are looking stronger, but this will be a real test as it is the type of game that you have to win if you want to do well. "We haven`t won away from home since the start of the season and we need to put that right."

Match Report

Visitors hit back for win Arbroath came from behind to secure a comfortable 3-1 win at East Stirling. The home side scored from their first chance of the night, Kevin Cawley coolly converting Scott Johnston`s pass from close in after five minutes. Arbroath hauled themselves level on the quarter hour mark when Josh Falkingham`s cross from the right was slotted home by Keith Gibson. Ross Chisholm should have done better with a volleyed effort just before the break, but the visitors did take the lead shortly after the restart. Chisholm was the provider, sending over a pinpoint cross for Falkingham to head into the bottom corner. Steven Doris headed wide from six yards and Gavin Swankie brought a decent save from Michael Andrews before Arbroath wrapped up the points. Mark Durnan crossed into the box for David McGowan to volley into the roof of the net.
