Victoria Park has passed a pitch inspection for the vital match against Wick Academy.

Jags issued an appeal for volunteers to help fork the pitch and help repair sections that were waterlogged following heavy overnight rain.

The club have thanked those who turned up and helped clear the surface water and get the match on.

Buckie are aiming to bounce back from Saturday's Highland League Cup final heartache by clocking up their 24th consecutive league victory.

They need a victory to keep the pressure on leaders Fraserburgh going into both clubs' final fixture on Saturday.

There are four more Highland league games going ahead tonight.

Rothes are aiming to end a run of four defeats with a home win over Inverurie Locos which would take them above their opponents into sixth place.

Forres Mechanics could also clamber above their opponents with a win tonight as they visit Clach.

Huntly host Formartine United in a rearranged game from last Wednesday.

And Fort William, already confirmed in a relegation play-off match against Banks o' Dee, head for Grantown to take on Strathspey Thistle.
