Another welcome three points at what could have been a tricky game leaves ourselves with our fate in our own hands .Goals from Craig Scott (pen) and Jack Beesley gave us a 2-0 lead at half time before second half goals from Jack Beesley again and Ross Nimmo gave us a comfortable win . This leaves us with a must win match at Stirling next Saturday which will guarantee us the Conference C league and entry into the play offs for the East Of Scotland Champions . Lets get behind the boys and cheer them on next Saturday 2-30pm kick off at Stirling University .(more details of travel and directions will be posted later )
