Burgh face demanding run of fixtures in April"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Johnstone Burgh are set for a busy spell in April with nine matches scheduled in just over a month as the West of Scotland League season enters a crucial stage.<\/p>\n<p>The run begins on Wednesday 1st April with a home tie against St Cadoc\u2019s at Keanie Park, before Burgh host Glenafton Athletic on Saturday 4th April.<\/p>\n<p>Burgh then head on the road to face Cumnock Juniors on Wednesday 8th April, followed by another away trip against Rutherglen Glencairn on Saturday 11th April.<\/p>\n<p>They return to Keanie Park for a local derby against Renfrew on Wednesday 15th April, before hosting Shotts Bon Accord on Saturday 18th April.<\/p>\n<p>Another midweek fixture follows against Troon on Wednesday 22nd April, with Beith Juniors the visitors on Saturday 25th April.<\/p>\n<p>The schedule then continues into May with an away trip to Shotts Bon Accord on Saturday 2nd May, followed by a home match against Kilwinning Rangers on Saturday 9th May and a final away fixture at Renfrew on Saturday 16th May.<\/p>\n<p>The fixture list means Burgh will play six matches in 18 days between 8th April and 25th April, with games coming every three to four days.<\/p>\n<p>That demanding schedule could prove pivotal in shaping their season, with squad rotation and recovery likely to play a key role as they look to pick up points during a congested period.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters will also have a number of opportunities to see the team at Keanie Park, with several of the fixtures taking place on home soil.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8d7da; border:1px solid #f5c2c7; padding:15px; margin:15px 0; border-radius:4px; color:#842029;\">\n  <strong>Upcoming fixtures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div
