Crucial Kelty Crunch Game After a convincing 2-0 win at Peterhead in midweek, the Caley Jags head into the final three games of the season with a one point advantage over a relentless Stenhousemuir. A stunning Alfie Stewart free kick and an equally impressive team goal put into the net by Chanka Zimba saw us leap frog the Warriors with no room for error over the final 270 minutes. Kelty come North on the back of a great result against Montrose which has seen them narrow the gap to safety and they now sit five points adrift of Cove Rangers and two behind Hamilton Accies. With Kelty in as much need of points as us but for different reasons, then this could be a tough game all round but one we are well capable of dealing with after showing more conviction in the second half at Balmoor. Don't forget to put your retro shirts on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Match/Ticket/Bus/Bar/Info Bring a Friend for a Fiver ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All 8 Competitive Meetings 0 - 0 (A) 2 - 2 (H) 3 - 0 (A) 0 - 2 (H) 1 - 0 (A) 1 - 1 (H) 0 - 0 (A) 1 - 0 (A) We were in the Pink at Balmoor on Tuesday night and warmed to the task with an assured performance to put promotion back in our own grasp, but there's no wiggle room with Stenny breathing down our necks. Keep it under your hat, but Alfie Stewart is turning out to be a great asset. He doesn't do tap-ins. Every one of his goals this season have been belters. Last Six League1: D W D D D W Not turning draws into wins has been a major stumbling block this season in our drive for promotion. We took the bull by the horns against Peterhead and took the game to them, especially in the second half where nobody would have complained had we scored half a dozen. Here's a sobering thought. We have never beaten Kelty at home in the three games we have played in the Highlands with one defeat and two draws. The diamond shaped midfield worked well at Peterhead, especially in the second half where we went for the jugular. Chanka Zimba notched his 19th goal of the season at Peterhead and Alfie's stunner was his eighth. Getting to the game Bar 94 and Matchday Bus times for Saturday's game against Kelty Hearts.

The Kelty recovery continued last Saturday with a tremendous 3-1 win at home to Montrose. An Arnott penalty and a brace from Cooper won the points at New Central Park. That followed on from an excellent 2-1 win away to Accies and an equally impressive home draw with Queen of the South who ended that game with ten men. Last Six League1: L D L W D W It's not been the best of seasons for the Maroons since we beat them 3-0 in the season opener back on the 2nd of August. Seems like a lifetime away now. However with the return of Cunningham, Kelty have a glimmer of hope in avoiding automatic relegation and that looked a forlorn hope a month ago.
