Despite leading 2-0 at the break thanks to a brace from Ryan Connelly we lost out to the Binos for the third time this season.

CONNELLY fired us into the lead with a shot from a McMurchie cross with 19 minutes gone and he doubled our advantage six minutes from the break when he picked up on a poor clearance by the visiting defence to shoot home.

The visitors however were quick off the mark at the start of the second half and pulled a goal back within a minute of the restart when Reg McLAREN lobbed the ball over Penman.

Then in 51 minutes things were even when Kyle BANNER headed home at the back post from a Caddis corner.

Stirling then went in 57 minutes when slack defending allowed Liam CADDIS to fire home a 20 yard shot.

We however got back level with 64 minutes gone when Cameron O’DONNELL saw his initial shot blocked by keeper Law, but he manged to slot the ball home in the follow up.

Stirling then got back in front within a minute when VEZZA fired home with McManus trying in vain to stop the ball on the line.

The scoring in a dramatic second half was then completed with 11 minutes to go when a clearance from Penman was punched to McLAREN who headed home his second goal of the night and his sixth of the season against us.
