Their lead didn’t last long and Lee Sibanda netted from the spot before Bowhill went ahead through Sami Mitchell.

Cupar grabbed the equaliser when Sibanda twisted and turned before finally hitting the net.

The home side were reduced to 10 men just before the break when Scott Eastaugh chopped down Sibanda and picked up a second yellow.

A free kick by Grant Blyth pushed Hearts forward in the remaining seconds but his strike was turned around the post for a corner.
