Musselburgh 3-2 St Andrews

St Andrews started the game poorly and would have went behind if it wasn’t for a great save from their keeper Lee Wilson.

Their relief was short lived however when Musselburgh were given a free header inside the box which Honeymen managed to clear off the line but the Saints could not get the ball the ball clear and Burgh forced it over the line.

Lawrie had another good chance but his shot went over.

The visitors then took the lead when Quinn skipped past the defender out on the left touchline before driving into the box and curling a great shot into the top corner of the net.

It was Musselburgh who had the last chance of the half but goalkeeper Wilson produced another fine save to deny them.
