Blue Brazil edge closer to the top as Peterhead stun Albion

Alloa Athletic 2 Clyde 0

Alloa secured a fairly comfortable 2-0 win over Clyde at Recreation Park.

Brian Carrigan turned home a Brown Ferguson cross in the 14th minute, and the same duo combined for the clinching goal.

Three minutes from time, the points were clinched as Carrigan's cross was headed onto the bar by Ferguson and Stuart Noble followed up to score.

Arbroath 0 Stenhousemuir 3

Stenhousemuir ended their five- game losing streak as they eased to a 3-0 win over Arbroath at Gayfield

Kevin Motion got things moving as he gave the Warriors a 19th-minute lead and the points were secure by midway through the second half.

Robert Love's decisive double in the 54th and 64th minutes lifted the visitors off the foot of the table.

Cowdenbeath 2 East Fife 1

Cowdenbeath got the better of the Fife derby in the glorious sunshine at Central Park.

Brian Fairbairn got the hosts off to a great start after only two minutes, following up Jon Robertson's long-range shot.

Player-manager Stevie Crawford led by example as he got the Methil men an equaliser ten minutes later, spinning well to hook a shot past David Hay.

The scoring was complete by the 14th minute as Robertson struck. The visitors deserved a share of the points but could not find a way past an inspired Hay in the Cowdenbeath goal.

The result means the home team close to within three points of league leaders Stirling Albion.

Dumbarton 0 Brechin City 0

Dumbarton and Brechin shared the spoils in a poor goalless draw at the Strathclyde Homes stadium.

Peterhead 3 Stirling Albion 2

Peterhead secured a fine 3-2 win over league leaders Stirling Albion at Balmoor.

Callum McDonald and John Stewart gave the hosts a 2-0 lead, which was halved by Martin Grehan. The two-goal advantage was restored by Nicky Clark before half time, and Stuart Devine's goal proved to be inconsequential.

Ross Forsyth was sent off late on for two bookings.
