Barry: It’s not in bag already
LOWLAND LEAGUE ROUND-UP
Kelty boss Barry Ferguson rubbished title talk despite beating closest rivals Bonnyrigg Rose.
Ross Philp, Dylan Easton and Nathan Austin netted for Kelty in a 3-2 win, with Lee Currie and George Hunter on target for Rose.
And Ferguson, whose side are now six clear, having played a game more, said: “We are obviously delighted with the win today.
“That was far from being a title decider, we’ve still to go to Bonnyrigg and have other tough matches to come. It’s a positive result but it’s no more than that.”
East Stirlingshire’s push for third was derailed as they lost 3-1 to Caledonian Braves. Nicky Low, who was later red carded, had cancelled out David Winters’ opener for Braves.
But goals from Neil McClaughl in and Ross McNeil secured the points.
Gala Fairydean Rovers defender Gareth Rodger celebrated signing a new contract by scoring the first in his team’s 4- 0 win over Civil Service Strollers.
Scott Taylor McKenzie, Zander Murray and Jacob Campbell also scored for the home team.
Edinburgh University twice came from behind to earn a valuable point in a 2-2 draw with East Kilbride.
Paul Woods and Ricky Miller had both edged Kilby in front at Peffermill but Patrick Baird and Josh Bannister responded for the Students.
A Jamie Penker goal was enough for Stirling University to beat Gretna 1- 0 at Forthbank.
HIGHLAND LEAGUE ROUND-UP
Buckie Thistle and Inverurie Locos failed to capitalise on a fixture wipe- out in the north after cancelling each other out at Victoria Park.
Second- top Locos and fourth-placed Buckie are out of the title running but with all other games called off it was a chance not taken.
In tough conditions, neither side found the touch to ignite a cold afternoon.
Buckie manager Graeme Stewart, though, felt his team deserved the win.
Stewart said: “We were the better team, had the bet t er chance s a nd dominated the game.
“I was impressed with the way we played.”
Locos boss Andy Low admitted: “I thought we were poor. Buckie were the better side.”
