Right on half-time Dalry drew level when a ball into the box fell to Chris McGowan snr and he shot home.

Ten minutes after the break Craigmark went ahead again, Scott Dempster netting with a lovely finish.

Dempster added a third goaa after a ball over the top was latched on to and he lobbed the 'keeper.

Fifteen minutes from the end Craigmark were reduced to 10 men when Willie Hall was sent off for an alleged head butt.

Five minutes from the end Stuart pulled a goal back but Craigmark held on for victory.
