25-03-24 Stirling A v Grangemouth A
The league decider. A win for Stirling meant that a further win against Dunfermline still gave them a chance of winning the league. A draw or a win for Grangemouth would see them take the title.

18-03-24 David Brodie Junior Trophy
The David Brodie Trophy is a juniors/beginners allegro. This is the fourth time this trophy has been played for: Alex won it back in 2019, it was not awarded in 2020 or 2021 due to the pandemic, in 2022 it was shared between Cameron A, Alex, and Thomas, and last year was won by Thomas outright. Well done to everyone who played, we are very proud of all of you!
