Despite Laird lying close to death on the turf.  eventually play was stopped and Laird bravely carried on inbetween the sticks making some important saves to see the half ending level.

Curryhoose then pulled a goal back with 10 minutes remaining with a close range header.

Kenny Lyall restored Kirkhills 2 goal lead when he raced clear and i say toe poked he says curled the ball past the keeper a minute before time.
