Stenhousemuir vs Queen's Park - Preview

Last updated : 08 September 2006 By Andyboy
Queen's Park are on the road again for the fifth match in a row, as they take on Third Division favourites, Stenhousemuir, at their astroturfed Ochilvew Stadium as they attempt to break their two game losing streak.

Both sides have made reasonable starts to the Third Division season, Stenhousemuir taking 10 points from their opening five games while Spiders have totalled 7 in the same number of matches.

Stenny recovered from the embarassment of losing 5-0 to perrenial bottom dogs East Stirlingshire with a 2-0 win over Elgin City on Sunday afternoon, and Warriors will be looking to completely extinguish any lingering memory of that Firs Park defeat at Ochilview tomorrow.

Both sides matched each other when they played last season, Stenny winning twice and Queen's also emerging victorious a couple of times. The last time they met Steven Canning's 92nd minute winner gave Queen's a 2-1 victory at Ochilview in April.
