SWF League One: Leaders Stenhousemuir and Falkirk prepare for exciting post-split fixtures

With three promotion places to the SWF Championship now at stake due to Edinburgh City’s decision to fold its double-winning team mid-season, both district teams know they are within touching distance of the third tier of the national game.

The Warriors currently hold a three-point lead at the summit over second-placed Forfar Farmington, and they are on a stunning run of 15 league matches without tasting defeat.

The Bairns sit comfortably in third place, six points ahead of fourth-placed Bonnyrigg Rose. They are only three points off Forfar.

The run-in starts this Sunday with Falkirk hosting Edinburgh Caley while Stenhousemuir have an off weekend.

Falkirk’s final four fixtures: Edinburgh Caley (H) Sunday, April 7; Forfar Farmington (A) Sunday, April 14; Stenhousemuir (A) Sunday, May 5; Bonnyrigg Rose (H) Sunday, May 12.
