Lugar opened the scoring in 15 minutes, with a 25-yard shot giving Mark Higgins no chance.

The home side were reduced to 10 men in 25 minutes following a bad tackle.

'Mark were level five minutes before the interval when Scott McKay was brought down in the penalty area and Ryan McKay converted the spot kick.

Craigmark substituted Steven McClelland with Kieran Nisbet at the interval and in the end this change was to prove vital.

It was Lugar who went ahead on the hour when they broke away and netted.

Two minutes later Craigmark were level again Scott Dempster set up Kieran Nisbet who slipped the ball under the keeper.

Ten minutes from the end Craigmark produced the winner when a Mitchell Ewing effort was saved by the visiting goalie, but Nisbet was on hand to net the rebound.
