The KSH forward found some space on the edge of the area but the shot was rushed and did not pose the home keeper too much of a problem.
The second half was minutes old when Kennoway took the lead.
A long throw was headed on by Rolland, a slight touch from Collins teed up Band as the KSH man steered his shot low into the corner of the net from eighteen yards.

D.Muir then thought he had extended his side’s lead when he sent a dipping volley over the head of the home keeper and into the net after a L.Rolland header.
But the celebrations were shortlived with the KSH man adjudged to be offside and the goal did not stand.
Entering the final minutes the expected onslaught did not materialise for Fauldhouse and the best chance of another goal again arrived at the feet of D.Muir.
