Central Taxis East Of Scotland League Conference A
It was an eventful Fife Derby at Blairwood Park with seven goals and a red card.
Darrin Wright had put visitors Hill of Beath in front from the spot in the first half and when Ricky Patrick made it two within 10 minutes of the restart, Kevin Fotheringham’s Haws looked to be in full control.
Oakley were reduced to 10 men and this galvanised the home side into action as Jack Cowan and Ryan Stevenson levelled it up with two quick goals and when James McAteer scored from the spot with 10 minutes to go an incredible turnaround looked on the cards.
However, Michael Watt equalised on 85 minutes and Calum Adamson hit the winner on 89 minutes.
Conference B
Crossgates beat Sauchie for the second time this season but had to come from behind with the winner coming in stoppage time.
Primrose led on nine minutes through an own goal but the visitors came back and led with three minutes remaining.
However, Scott Hynd equalised on 87 minutes and Andy Watt hit the winner deep into stoppage time.
Dundonald Bluebell also needed a late winner to take care of Burntisland Shipyard at Moorside Park after leading 2-0.
Archie Campbell put Bluebell in front before half-time and Calum Smith made it 2-0 two minutes after the restart.
Reece Brown netted twice to bring Shippy level but Smith scored his second to restore Bluebells’ lead with nine minutes left. Calum McAuley was sent off for the visitors with five minutes left and time ran out on any chance of a comeback.
A goal in each half gave St Andrews United a 2-0 victory away from home at Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts
