Glens said: “This week we welcome Lochore to Warout in our first of many Fife derbies this season.

“Kick off is 2pm unfortunately still no spectators allowed.”

Thornton Hibs are a team in-form but suffered a blip at the weekend when they went down 4-1 at Edinburgh United.

Despite the loss, Hibs remain in touch near to the top of the 1st Division Conference A, sitting in fourth position.

On Tuesday night, the point taken by Hibs in their 1-1 draw with Dunipace helped boss Craig Gilbert reach a milestone.

It meant Gilbert has now recorded 500 points in his tenure as gaffer.

The club said: “The solitary point from the draw on Tuesday night against Dunipace at Denny saw his tenure stretch to 308 league games in what is his 13th season as manager.

“This was the 53rd draw and there has been 149 wins and 106 defeats.”

This weekend Hibs will aim to get back on the winning trail when they host St Andrews United in a Fife derby.

Kennoway Star Hearts recorded a convincing 3-0 win at Ormiston as they continued their own decent start to the campaign.

The victory was their third in their opening four games.

This weekend Kennoway are in action against Kirkcaldy and Dysart.
