Bryce was a handful for the Tayport defence as he bustled his way through a number of challenges before being halted by a combination of the home `keeper and a centre back.

It was KSH that broke the deadlock and it arrived through midfielder Dylan Muir.

Johnstone picked up the ball in the heart of the midfield before threading through a precise pass for Muir to run onto, the midfielder showed composure of the highest quality as he walked the ball around Sorley before rolling the ball into the unguarded goal.

Much like the start of the first half it was the home side who started the brighter.
