Spurs collected another three league points, but it was backs to the wall in the last ten minutes as Town staged a brave comeback. The first half was a tight affair with the Spurs just shading possession & chances. Spurs were leading 1.0 at the break thanks to Casement, who collected a throw in & tried a shot from 25 yards which found the net. Casement was later booked for a poorly timed tackle. Straight from the second half kick off Spurs made it two, as a ball over the top sent Rutherford clear & he was as lethal as ever as he scored in the corner. Spurs were creating lots of openings as they kept pushing forward, with Town still looking dangerous on the break. A third goal & the home side looked to be coasting, as Boon got the final touch from a corner. With only ten minutes of the game remaining Spurs seemed to push the self destruct button, Town's no 8 Stalker ran through the Spurs defence before shooting past Barclay. Minutes later Herd was sent from the field, as Stalker ran at the Spurs back line Herd was adjudged to push the Town player, the ref showing the Spurs player a straight red as he was the last man. Worse was to come for Spurs as Town scored again, with Stalker running through again to score. Spurs now seemed in a panic as Town pushed forward for the equalising goal. Barclay in the Spurs goal had to make three brilliant saves to keep the Kirkcaldy team out & Spurs were relieved when the final whistle sounded.
