Leaders Kennoway were emphatic 5-0 winners in their away clash with Methillhill Strollers/East Fife. Scotia remain in the slipstream of the leaders, with the Coaltown side 3-1 victors over St Monans Swallows. Leslie Hearts remain bottom after a 4-2 loss against Rosyth.

In Division 1, Kinross Colts left John Dixon Park with all three points following a 3-1 victory over Markinch. The game was all but over after the opening 15 minutes when goals from Smith, Brown and Wardrop saw the visitors, with a strong wind at their backs, race into a 3-0 lead, Markinch had the elements in their favour in the second period but couldn’t claw back the deficit and only had a Rowan Kay goal to show for their efforts.
