Former Kelty striker downs Hill of Beath

Hill of Beath Hawthorn travelled to Newtown Park to face East of Scotland League Premier leaders Bo’ness United and were haunted by a former Fifer.

The only goal of the game came after an hour from ex-kelty Hearts forward Brian Ritchie, but that was only part of the story as Haws ended with nine men, Rory Harrower and then Shaun Leishman receiving red cards.

The former Lowland League visitors pulled a goal back on 72 minutes through Devlin.

To say the game between Musselburgh Athletic and Jeanfield Swifts at Olivebank was eventful is something of an understatement.

Darren Downie then equalised for Musselburgh on the halfhour only for Scott Smith to send Jeanfield in at half-time in front.

However, it started to unravel on 61 minutes when Steve Mcdonald pulled a goal back and then equalised, two minutes later. Kyle Lander put Tranent in front on 81 minutes and Mcdonald completed his hattrick on 89 minutes.

In the First Division, Oakley have really found a rich vein of form and continued their run with a 2-0 Conference A win over Craigroyston at Blairwood Park. Stuart Love scored both goals.

Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts pulled off something of a surprise 2-1 win at 10-man Haddington.
