Would be champions Leithen Rovers were ahead after just 6 minutes when Shek scored from 12 yds following a Lowrie throw. Marszalek levelled for Stow with a 25 yard shot despite the attempts to stop him by the visiting defenders. However this was short lived as the Stow team stopped in their tracks when Chapman was decked by a clearance, Leithen played to the whistle and scored through McMath. Brunton showed he was not just there to mix it when he headed home a Hastie cross. Shortly after the break McMath scored his second and the visitors fourth when he latched onto Hastie's pass. Controversy then ensued when the referee awarded a very dubious penalty when Chapman's tackle on Shek was deemed to be a foul, the visitors did not claim for it but were awarded it anyway. Gibb scored from the spot. With 20 minutes remaining Hunter pulled one back for Stow when he latched onto a Hewitson pass and calmly stroked the ball past the advancing keeper.
