That lead lasted until the 64th minute when Ewan Buggins thumped a header in at the back post from a Jamie Robbie corner and then on 76 minutes, Sam Simpson rifled the ball home from 20 yards after a poor clearance from the Kennoway back line. The home side were level just eight minutes later when Liam Rolland headed home a corner after Jamie Robbie had missed a punch. Carnoustie were in no mood to settle for a draw and Martin put The Gowfers back in front when he stabbed the ball home at the back post. with two minutes to go Martin made it 4-2 as he smartly volleyed a corner from, Man Of The Match, Jamie Winter past the Kennoway keeper to make sure of a deserved three points.
