DIRRANS ATHLETIC 2

HURLFORD AFC 2

SPIRITED Dirrans blasted back from behind to secure a point in an evenly-matched contest.

Playing on the Kilwinning Sports Club astroturf pitch, Dirrans went ahead courtesy of a John Pirie goal.

However Hurlford then scored twice to take the lead.

The home side kept pressing and levelled through Calvin Kemp before half-time.

There were no more goals in the second half with both teams happy to take a point in what was a hard-fought end-to-end game played in testing conditions.

The Kilwinning team are just two points off top spot in what is a very tight league.

DIRRANS ATHLETIC: Stewart; Walker, Frew, Muir, Wallace, Lockhart (Hynard); Kiefer, Boyd, Kemp, Stevenson, Pirie.
