The match is being played at Grant Street Park in Inverness at 7:45pm on Friday night with Bonar Bridge only two points off league leaders Inverness Athletic.

A victory would send the Migdale outfit one point clear at the top and make them league leaders for at least 18 hours with all other league matches taking place on Saturday afternoon.

Current league leaders Inverness Athletic travel across the Pentland Firth to take on Orkney, with Alness United who are also two points clear of Bonar Bridge, at home to Thurso at Dalmore Park.

In the other league match, Fort William face Inverness Thistle at Claggan Park.

Bonar Bridge picked up a point last weekend when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Inverness Athletic at Muir of Ord. Aiden Stainke gave Bonar Bridge the lead after four minutes but Russell Macintyre equalising in the 33rd minute.

Golspie Sutherland picked up their third win of the season on Wednesday night as they edged out Clachnacuddin A 1-0 at King George V Park.

Jamie Mackay scored the only goal of the game to give the hosts all three points as they moved up to sixth place in the table.

They bounced back from their 6-0 hammering by defending champions Invergordon last week.

Golspie now turn their attention to the Jock Mackay Cup semi final as they travel to Caithness to take on Halkirk United at Morrison Park.

The winner will progress to the final to face either Invergordon or St Duthus who are playing in the other semi final at the Recreation Grounds tomorrow afternoon.

In the other league matches last week, Thurso defeated Fort William 4-2 with Jonah Martens scoring a hat-trick and Kuba Koziol also finding the net. Andrew Sneddon and Liam Taylor scored for Fort William.

Clachnacuddin A stunned Inverness Thistle 2-1 in North Kessock. Lewis Gibson scored twice for Clach with Shane Harkness finding the net for Thistle.

Halkirk United lost 4-2 at St Duthus in Tain with the Saints grabbing all four goals in the first half through Neil Moir, Colin MacRae, Arron Christie and a Conor Farquhar own goal. Kieran MacGregor and Mark Munro scored for Halkirk. Alness United won 2-1 at Orkney.
