Kennoway underline promotion credentials

The table-topping KENNOWAY STAR HEARTS underlined their promotion credentials with a come-frombehind 3-1 win on a tricky trip to Tranent.

A stunning Kieran Band volley 10 minutes into the second period drew them level.

His poacher’s goal five minutes later and a third from Kyle Wilson sealed a victory that could bring top-flight football to Treaton Park next term. DOWNFIELD frustrated FORFAR

WEST END in a goalless contest at Strathmore Park.

The Spiders would have gone home with all three points if substitute Ross Gallagher’s shot had not smashed against the bar in the second half.

Missed opportunities cost TAYPORT dearly as they slipped to defeat at Dalkeith Thistle to effectively end any promotion ambitions.

Stewart Adams headed the Lothian side’s winner after 26 minutes.

The hosts had Paul Tansey sent off just before the break, but the Fifers couldn’t breach the wellorganised home defence.

ST ANDREWS hosting Whitburn was a must-win game for both sides as they strive to avoid the drop.

However, they had to be satisfied with a point apiece after a six-goal thriller in which fortunes ebbed and flowed.

Saints will likely feel aggrieved after losing two goals in the last 12 minutes.

James McAteer’s powerful header was the least the Lothian side deserved after early dominance.

But, against the run of play, Ben Anthony levelled for Saints just after the half-hour mark.

It was all-change in the second half as the hosts, playing down the slope, were transformed.

Two Anthony strikes completed his hat-trick and put Saints two up.

But from looking down and out, Whitburn hit back with a late counter by Dewi Taylor and a Martin Russell penalty conversion.

After John Martin’s surprise resignation as GLENROTHES manager, his assistant Willie Campbell took charge.

He didn’t get off to the best of starts as the Glens slumped to a 5-1 defeat at Haddington.

Rhys Sneddon got the Glens’ consolation.
