Coldstream 2-3 Burntisland Shipyard: Players' character is Shipshape says boss Costello after away win
After a narrow success for the Fife outfit in the Scottish borders, Shippy gaffer Costello told the club website: “I was very pleased with our first-half performance, we created numerous chances, took two of them and didn’t give Coldstream many sights of our goal.
"The second-half was not so good but we showed great character to regain the lead.

Shippy got off to a great start on Saturday with a goal inside the opening 10 minutes when Lewis Ross’ looping header dropped in at the back post following a Shaun Keatings corner.
The visitors doubled their lead in the 42nd minute when Sam Glancy smashed the ball home from 25 yards for his second goal of the season.
But second-half goals from Thomas Grey and Matt Corfield brought Coldstream level at 2-2.

The win leaves Burntisland 13th in the East of Scotland League First Division with eight points from eight fixtures.
Costello’s men will continue their league campaign this Saturday as they visit Kirkcaldy & Dysart in a quickly rearranged match.
