PREVIOUS FIXTURES

Last season the Warriors joined us in League 2 and we met four times across the League and Challenge Cup. Stenny won 2-1 in the Cup however we came out on top in each of the League meetings, our most impressive result being a 4-0 win last October with goals from Scott Shepherd, Conrad Balatoni, Danny Handling and Aidan Wilson. The last match was on 24 January at Ochilview, where we came from behind to win 2-1 thanks again to goals from Shepherd and Handling.
