Broomhill were the victors on both occasions, last season – defeating Caley Braves 3-1 and 3-2.

The Broom will be pleased with their start to this season’s campaign – losing 2-1 in a competitive opening fixture v East Kilbride, and a 2-0 win over newly promoted side, Linlithgow Rose.

Corey O’Donnell scored for Broomhill in both games, and will be looking to continue his goalscoring form against The Braves.

Caley Braves opened their campaign with a 1-0 win over Berwick Rangers at Alliance Park – with Jamie Watson getting on the scoresheet.

Watson equalised against Celtic B midweek, but the Young Hoops proved to be too strong, winning 5-1.

After battling for their equaliser nine minutes from the end – thanks to Corey O’Donnell’s effort from the edge of the box, there wasn’t much they could do to stop Calvin McGrory’s rocket into the top corner with five left on the clock – leaving K-Park empty-handed and a 2-1 opening day defeat.

Stephen Swift took confidence in how competitive his side were against a strong opposition, and he’ll be looking for the same as they host newly promoted, Linlithgow Rose.

Having won the East of Scotland Premier Division last season, Linlithgow Rose looked to continue the form in their new environment – kicking off their Lowland League campaign with a 3-1 win against Stirling Uni, with three ‘Goal of the Month’ contenders, in the process

A midweek fixture in Dumbarton is never easy, and The Rose will need to keep up the intensity to break down the bullish barrier of Broomhill.
