Elgin City Manage to Secure a Narrow Victory Over Glenrothes

Elgin City stretched their Barclays Scottish Women’s League One lead, while there were wins for the top four in the Championship ahead of the split.

The top four in the Barclays Scottish Women’s Championship all won, with one game remaining before SWF’s national leagues split into a top six and bottom five for the remaining fixtures.

A first-half Rebecca Murray goal was enough to give Bonnyrigg Rose all three points in Port Glasgow, with Morton missing a penalty on the hour mark which would have provided the equaliser.

Falkirk remain top after beating Forfar Farmington 3-1 in Angus while Renfrew beat Armadale Thistle 2-0 to stay second and Rossvale enjoyed a strong second half to defeat Stenhousemuir 3-1 at home.

This means a 4-1 victory for Ayr United at Inverness lifts them up to fifth in the table, guaranteeing them top-half football.

Barclays League One leaders Elgin City survived a Glenrothes Strollers fightback to win 2-1 in Fife and extend their lead at the top of the table to seven points. St Mirren move second after a hard fought 2-1 win against Airdrie CC while Queen of the South were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Cambusdoon.

Inverurie Loco Works moved into sixth position after an 88th-minute winner from sub Sofia Ross gave them a 3-2 home win over Dunipace, denting the Denny’s side’s title push. Westdyke also gave themselves a chance on top six football with an 8-0 thumping of Dunfermline Athletic in Aberdeenshire.

In the regional SWFL, Edinburgh Uni Thistle stay top in SWFL East with a 3-2 win over Bayside, while Caithness moved to the top of the ScottishPower Highlands and Islands league with a 18-0 demolition of Nairn St Ninian.
