A Mighty way to go

Dale Burgess admits Beith must find a spark up top after he saved their skin at the back.

The Mighty keeper put on a man-of-the-match show to deny Meadow at Bellsdale.

The summer signing from Stranraer said: “It’s my job to keep the ball out of the net but I was very pleased with some of the saves.

“I don’t think we created enough at the other end of the park and it’s something we will need to work on.”

Beith were reduced to 10 men with 20 minutes left after Larry McMahon’s innocuous challenge on Jared Willet.

Medda sub Michael Reilly blazed over and co-boss Colin Spence said: “We should’ve won comfortably.”

Dean Keenan watched Troon go top of the Premier – then confessed the spot-kick that sent them there was jammy.

James McGowan went down under a challenge by Drew Wingate 73 minutes in.

Ryan Stevenson buried it as Glens boss Willie Harvey was sent off for his protests before Derek McNab got a second yellow for dissent.

Troon No.2 Keenan said: “The referee will have the benefit of watching the highlights and learning from his mistakes.

“He’s booked I don’t know how many players and sent one off but there wasn’t a bad tackle from either side.

“We got a bit of luck with the penalty as it was soft and Glencairn should’ve had two.”

Conference B leaders Neilston made it seven wins from seven despite one of the most bizarre reds no fans got to see.

Sub Michael McNeil trudged off the pitch seconds after running on to it.

Booting the ball away after a foul was given against him at a throw-in earned him a yellow before his reaction to the ref saw him sent packing.

By then Neilston were one up after Adam Forde’s whipped free-kick sneaked through a ruck of bodies and in.

Co-boss Derek Carson said: “We played with a lot of width to give them problems.”

Greenock manager

Tommy Molloy said: “We never looked like scoring and gave away an ugly goal.”

EAST JUNIORS

Jamie Winter finished the scoring from the halfway line as Carnoustie thumped Lochee Harp 6-1 to keep up their 100 per cent start.

Dayle Robertson struck a second-half six-minute double as Tayport capitalised on Nathan Fitzpatrick’s red card to beat Forfar West End 3-1.
