Hawthorn were worthy winners by 2-0 when the sides met earlier in the season so Dundonald will be looking to make amends.

After an idle weekend Kirkcaldy and Dysart make the trip over the Forth to take on Dalkeith Thistle in Conference A.

Craig Ness’s side thumped Saturday’s opponents 5-1 at Alex Penman Park back in November and will hope for a repeat.
