Whitehill Welfare 1- 0 Coldstream

WHITEHILL maintained their position as league leaders with a 100 per cent record against a Coldstream side which was without several key players. There were chances for both sides in the first half and Robin Brown almost opened the scoring for Coldstream with a header then Scott Agnew hit the crossbar. The goal which proved to be the winner was scored five minutes before half-time. Whitehill won the ball on the touchline and when the cross came in Gary Calvey rose to head the ball past Scott Lumsden in the Coldstream goal.

Dalbeattie Star 0 - 3 Spartans

SPARTANS moved up into third spot in the Premier table after a comfortable win over recently promoted Star. The breakthrough came in the 43rd minute when a 30-yard drive from Keith McLeod appeared to get a deflection off Star defender Stewart Cluckie and the ball ended up in the net past keeper Graham Wright. Spartans stepped up the pace in the second half and in 52 minutes Kevin Motion's corner fell to Daniel O'Donnell and the defender smashed the ball home from ten yards.

With two minutes left a Mark Burns free kick sailed over the home defenders and David Beattie headed into the net for the third.

Craigroyston 2 - 3 Selkirk

SELKIRK took the lead midway through the first half when John Waldie headed home a Stuart Anderson free kick. They had further chances to increase the lead and doubled their lead early in the second half when Chris Anderson followed up after Ross Taylor dropped a Craih Livingston shot. Livingston eventually got the goal he deserved when he beat the offside trap, rounded Taylor and shot home. Craigroyston made substitutions as they tried to get back in the game and it was one of them who scored when John Niven shot home after a good move, and they were right back in the game when Paul Roberts scored a fine individual goal. Niven almost scored the equaliser but shot narrowly past with Dodds beaten.

Craigroyston: Taylor, Sivewright, Scott, Kane, Gordon, Jeffrey, Whyte, Rutherford, Roberts, C Anderson, Wilson. Subs: Niven, Russell, Ferguson, Clancy.

FIRST DIVISION

Edinburgh Athletic 2 - 3 Kelso United

KELSO took the lead in the 27th minute when Peoples' shot was deflected in. Edinburgh conceded a free kick and Hebden floated the ball to the far post where McIntosh failed to collect and the ball fell fittingly to Gillon who rifled it home for 2-0. In the second half Athletic mounted attack upon attack with Olsson shaving the upright, a McDougal header and shot bringing out good saves from Turnbull and Coults twice coming close with shots. Then in the 83rd minute Kelso counterattacked and Gilson netted again.But within minutes Johnson had clawed back two goals for Athletic.

Edinburgh Athletic: McIntosh, Cocker, Olsson, Black, Ewart, Stuart, Scott, Lockhart, Johnson, Coults, McDougal. Subs: R Cartwright, Easter, Robertson, Chisholm, I Cartwright.

Kelso: Turnbull, Mabon, Dumma, Henderson, G McNulty, D McNulty, Black, Gillon, Burnett, Hebden, Peoples. Subs: Gillie, Edwards, Wood, Scott.

Eyemouth United 1 - 1 Tynecastle

TYNECASTLE had the better of the early chances, Mark Walters palming away a shot from Dino Vita before tipping the ball over the bar from a powerful Ross Allum effort. But Eyemouth took the lead five minutes from half-time when Paterson cleverly played the ball through to James Wilson who beat John Gilbertson from 15 yards with a well placed shot. The second half was a complete change, and it was all Tynecastle, and they equalised after 52 minutes. A pacey counter attack and good passing gave Robbie Arthur a glorious chance, and he fired the ball beyond Walters from the edge of the area. They then looked to take all three points, and Walters was called into action again, making a good save at his near post from Steven McCormack.

Eyemouth Utd: Walters, Aitchison (Hastie 66), Lough, Hudson, Hutchison, Speirs, Windram, Wilson, Patterson, Flannigan (Pithie 63), Sword. Subs: Wales, Girrity

Hawick Royal Albert 1 - 4 Ormiston

ORMISTON broke the deadlock with seven minutes gone when Jimmy Campbell produced the scoring touch in chipping a shot over the head of Hawick keeper Scott Dowie. Within a minute Luke Cooper put Hawick on level terms in finding the bottom corner of the net with a well-struck drive. After both sides had squandered chances Ormiston regained their lead in the 54th minute. David Cheyne emerging the marksman in taking advantage of some poor Hawick defending to rattle a shot past Dowie. The woodwork then robbed Ormiston of another strike when Heyes headed a Paul Lynch free kick against the bar. In the 67th minute Cheyne put Hawick into further arrears. Following the dismissal of Hawick's Luke Cooper for a second bookable offence Campbell brought an end to the scoring by thundering in a Lynch free kick.

Hawick Royal Albert: Dowie, Adams, Campbell, M Cooper, M Clark, Inglis, S Clark, Noble, Campbell, Fry, L Cooper. Subs: Shiel, Fiddes, Hogg, Stavert, Elliot.

Heriot Watt University 2 - 3 Vale of Leithen

HERIOT-WATT took the lead in the fourth minute, Luke Cassidy picking his spot from Lee Manderson's pass, but after 20 minutes play the Watt conceded an excruciating own-goal when Iain Begg was unable to prevent the ball trundling over the line after Stewart Cairns had turned it past him. Ten minutes before half-time, Begg had to withdraw with a knee injury and midfielder Phil Green donned the gloves. Watt went in front again early in the second half, Olly Antoni following up to score when a shot by Mark Wells was blocked on the line, but Vale struck back quickly when Ryan McManus turned in a cutback by Greig Shortreed. The winner came half way through the second half when Lewis Montgomery met a cross from the impressive Ross McManus and steered a header into the top corner.

Civil Service Strollers 3 - 0 Berwick Rangers Res

BERWICK started the brighter side with Brydon skilful at the back but Strollers went ahead against the run of play after 20 minutes when Daryl Devlin powered home a header from a corner on the right by Newall. In the second half Strollers scored within seconds when the alert Currie intercepted a short pass-back by the Berwick defence and rolled the ball into the path of Devlin who slotted home. Berwick attacked manfully but without effect and it was no surprise when Strollers went three up after 70 minutes when Mark Antoni shot powerfully home from a cross from Kevin Fettes from the right.
