Stenhousemuir relegated as Annan head to play-off final

Stenhousemuir’s relegation from Ladbrokes League One was confirmed on Saturday in a 2-1 play-off semi-final defeat to Annan, losing 4-1 on aggregate.

Goals from Chris Johnston and Ayrton Sonkur gave Annan control of the tie in the first leg and Kyle Bradley’s 10th-minute strike at Ochilview Park boosted their promotion hopes further.

Stenhousemuir pulled one back through David Marsh eight minutes from half-time, but Steven Swinglehurst scrambled home a second for Annan after 73 minutes to ensure the Warriors drop into League Two alongside the already-relegated Brechin City.

Annan, who finished fourth in League Two, will now face Clyde – runners-up to champions Peterhead in the regular season – over two legs to determine which club will be promoted to the third tier.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
