Match Preview
Double blow for Peterhead as they face resurgent Forfar Peterhead defender Bobby Mann misses out against Forfar and is joined on the sidelines by striker Davie Ross Mann is struggling with an ankle knock while Ross is still troubled by a knee problem, but winger Graeme Sharp is available after work commitments saw him miss out against East Stirling. Balmoor manager Neale Cooper is pleased with how his side responded in midweek to last Saturday's opening-day loss to Stenhousemuir. He said: "We gave away a couple of goals at Ochilview and that disappointed me, I wanted a reaction from the players. I certainly got that with a 6-1 win over East Stirling. "We will need to be at our best again as Forfar got a great result last Saturday to open their Second Division campaign." Forfar boss Dick Campbell is missing suspended defenders Iain Campbell and Michael Bolochoweckyj. Striker Ross Campbell is available after sitting out the 3-2 midweek win over Queens Park through suspension. Goalkeeper Scott Gallagher looks set to be restored between the posts after being rested ahead of Scotland Under-21 duty in midweek, with defender Mark McCulloch also available to the Station Park boss. And Campbell is looking to round off an excellent opening to the season by winning at Peterhead. He said: "We were bottom of the SFL two seasons ago and now we are in the Second Division and we want to keep the good times going by seeing off Peterhead."

Match Report
Opening salvo enough First half goals from Graham Gibson and Dale Hilson were enough to secure 10-man Forfar a 2-1 win at Peterhead in the Scottish Second Division. Gibson netted from close-range after 18 minutes before Hilson fired into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area nine minutes later to give Athletic an early two goal advantage. They looked comfortable on their two-goal lead until 19 minutes from time when Scott Gallacher was dismissed for a professional foul. Daniel Moore then crossed for Connor Gethans to head home on 77 minutes later and a comeback looked possible. However despite having all of the play the Blue Toon could not find an equaliser and Forfar held out ensuring two wins from their opening two league games.
