It was a steady start for the Fife side and from another set piece Johnstone saw a goal bound effort blocked by a strong defensive header.

The positive start was soon turned on its head when a poor touch in midfield gifted possession to the Camelon midfield.

With several players out of position, a clever through ball to Crawford saw the striker collect the ball and advance unchallenged before hitting a low shot from 20 yards into the net.

On the half hour another slack clearance from the Kennoway defence was punished in breakneck speed.

The ball was swept from left to right before a low cross was knocked past Page by Sneddon.

Despite getting into good attacking areas, the lack of shots for Kennoway was something the away management would have been disappointed with in the first half.

The Camelon defence went on to tackle with aggression and showed great organisation as they defended their lead.

It was game over in the on the hour when Docherty saw his effort take a deflection and hit the back of the net.
