League 1 play-offs: Wins for Clyde and Annan
Chris Johnston and Ayrton Sonkur scored in the first half, however Stenhousemuir rallied with a powerful display in the second 45 minutes that was unlucky not to be rewarded with a goal.
Annan took the lead on eight minutes when Aidan Smith teed up Johnston who drilled low into the net and a second goal arrived six minutes from the break when Sonkur headed in a Johnston corner despite Stenhousemuir claims that the ball had not crossed the line.
