EAST Kilbride made it five wins on the bounce with a 3-1 victory over Gala Fairydean Rovers to continue trailing a blaze at the top of the Ferrari

However the Lanarkshire outfit had the points in the bag by then thanks to Sean Winter's strike and a double from Martin McBride.

leading 7-3 at the interval.

East Stirlingshire added one more in the second half for an 8-3 victory.

There was an incredible finale at Peffermill as Edinburgh University were leading Gretna 3-1 with 10 minutes remaining.

However, an own goal reduced the deficit and goals from Dylan MacNeill (88 mins) and an injury time winner from Johnny Murray gave Gretna all three points with a 4-3 win.
