North save the day with a last-gasp Baillie leveller

The home side had the best of the early exchanges and it was no surprise when they took the lead through Brad McClelland.

The home side looked to be heading for all three points until deep into added-on time.
An Amble player was caught in possession in his own penalty area - and the resulting cross ricocheted about the box until it fell to Andrew Baillie and he knocked home the equaliser.
