Bonnyrigg Rose consolidated their position at the top of the league with a 2-0 away win over close neighbours Newtongrange Star . Camelon won 2-0 at home to Sauchie  juniors  who finished their league campaign with a shaky 32 points giving the teams below a target to aim for to avoid the drop , every club below them can better that total and will be a nervous end of the season for the Beechwood outfit .

Boness United thumped bitter rivals Linlithgow Rose  4-0 to progress in the DJ Laing East of Scotland cup and give them a away tie at Dalkeith Thistle . Lochee Utd continued to pressure the two favourites for promotion with a 2-0 home win over the relegation favourites   Thornton Hibs . Arniston Rangers continued their late push for an outside chance for the play off place with a 3-2 win at home to Haddington Athletic .
