Twitter to Grindley’s legs blocking Graham Wilson’s parting shot after the striker was put clean through on goal by a clever Hyslop pass.

A fraught and highly competitiv­e second half brought a flashpoint when a melee ensued after Wilson dived in to fell Beith defender Kevin Green with a tackle that ended the centre-back’s participat­ion in the game and earned the Talbot man a yellow card.

And even greater disappoint­ment followed for the Mighty when a good passing movement gave them a rare sight at goal, however Darren Christie’s powerful shot came crashing back off the upright.

Beith boss Johnny Millar thought his side’s performanc­e reinforced the belief they could emerge as title contenders yet again.

He said afterward: “The players were beating themselves up in our dressing room for losing the game yet it says everything about how high our standards are now.”

Auchinleck’s win moves them up to second behind Hurlford United who made it five wins out of five thanks to goals from Calum Watt and a last-minute Liam Caddis effort earning a 2-1 win over Largs Thistle who scored through a Kevin Struhers spot kick.

Scott Anson netted a brace in Cumnock‘s 3-1 triumph over Renfrew while Nikky Little and Ross Alexander were on the mark to help Clydebank move up to fourth with a 2-0 Abbey Park defeat of Kilwinning Rangers.

Pollok turned round a 1-0 half-time deficit to go 2-1 ahead through Bryan Young and Adam Forde counters against Rob Roy but winger Lee Gallagher netted twice to give the Rabs a 3-2 success and their first away league win.

Cambuslang Rangers recovered from Mick O’Byrne’s first-half headed goal for Kilbirnie Ladeside to win 2-1 through Scott Faulds and John Gemmell strikes while Finlay Frye’s late goal for Glenafton only put a better complexion on a 2-1 Loch Park scoreline for Troon for whom Dan McKay and Robert Love were on target.
