In a Greenversity Second Division clash in Kilsyth, the match started with high tempo and plenty of action as Forth Wanderers took an early lead against the home side, Caledonian Locomotives.
The visitors set the tone right from the start. At the 5th minute, a wide free-kick delivered by Enzo Wright found Kyle Caigs, whose header hammered the ball into the net. Caledonian Locomotives managed a reply at 15 minutes when Ryan Gibb struck a goal to level the score. But Forth Wanderers were not to be denied their advantage for long. In the 23rd minute, Enzo Wright scored a well-placed header from the edge of the box, putting Forth ahead once again.
The first half took a dramatic turn at the 31st minute when Caledonian Locomotives were reduced to 10 men after a red card was shown for a late, high challenge on Enzo Wright. Forth Wanderers were awarded a free kick just a minute later. Once again, Enzo Wright’s delivery from a wide free kick found Kyle Caigs, whose header doubled the visitors’ lead. By stoppage time in the first half (45+3), the scoreline was 1–3 in favour of Forth Wanderers.
After the interval, the pace of the game noticeably slackened, with the second half proving slow and less eventful compared to the fast-paced opening period. Nevertheless, Forth Wanderers extended their lead in the 47th minute when Kyle Caigs swept home a rebound from Matty Donald’s effort. The final whistle confirmed the result as Caledonian Locomotives succumbed to a 4–1 defeat.
The result carries significant implications for both teams’ season futures. Caledonian Locomotives, who sit in 10th place on 33 points, have just one game left in the season and can no longer mount a promotion challenge. Meanwhile, Forth Wanderers, positioned 12th on 29 points with two games remaining, find themselves battling a relegation scrap. Should they lose their final two matches, the Wanderers face the very real threat of dropping to the Greenversity Third Division.
