It was in the fourth minute of this additional time that Kelso snatched the lead. Black collected a throw in from the left wing and fired an unanswerable curling strike from 25 yards through the crowded box and into the net.
Kelso made safe their lead in the 65th minute. Lauder’s placed strike beat the oncoming goalkeeper Simmonds and Burnett was on hand to help the ball across the line from two yards out.
