Weakened Linlithgow enjoy morale-boosting victory

The 3-1 morale-boosting victory over Newtongrange Star was a dogged one, with Rose having to hold on for long periods after taking the lead twice.

Tommy Coyne opened the scoring after only ten minutes to put the Rose ahead. Star equalised a couple of minutes later with a penalty from Stevie Thomson and Rose took the lead again with a superb 30 yard free kick from Mark Tyrrell on 15 minutes.

Star grabbed hold of the game and for a good long spell put Rose under the cosh. But they couldn't put the ball in the net Linlithgow scored their third with a slice of luck. A shot into the danger area rebounded to substitute Stevie Manson and he finished clinically.
