Busy Night of East Lothian Football Action: Musselburgh Athletic, Preston Athletic, and Ormiston Primrose in Action

It’s a busy night in East Lothian as three games kick off in the East of Scotland Football League, with only Tranent not in action. In the top flight, Musselburgh Athletic make the short trip to Penicuik, while Preston Athletic host Kirkcaldy & Dysart in the First Division. Ormiston Primrose welcome Tweedmouth Rangers in the Second Division, and Haddington Athletic tackle Dunbar United in the third round of the League Cup.

The match of the day sees Haddington Athletic take on Dunbar United in the League Cup third round. The two sides have met twice in the league, with Dunbar emerging victorious on both occasions. Dunbar have had an impressive return to the Premier Division, while Haddington will be looking to steady the ship after some inconsistent form. A home tie with Crossgates Primrose awaits the victors.

In the Premier Division, Musselburgh Athletic need at least a point to delay Broxburn Athletic’s bid to be crowned champions. A draw would leave Broxburn needing just a single point from their remaining games to lift the title. Preston Athletic will be looking to climb into the top half of the First Division as they host Kirkcaldy & Dysart, while Ormiston Primrose face a vital contest with Tweedmouth Rangers in the Second Division.

It’s set to be an exciting night of football in East Lothian, with plenty at stake for all the teams involved. Stay tuned for all the action and results from tonight’s matches.
