“We had two really good opportunities to take the lead.
“It would obviously have given us a massive boost, but we didn’t convert and then Bo’ness did what good teams do, they took advantage when their openings came along.”
Tayport now know they must pick up six points from their final two matches to keep their chances of staying up alive.
Their next league game is on May 21 when they host Kelty Hearts.
