One minute later Bejaoui look on anxiously as the ball whistled past his right hand post.

Carnoustie doubled their lead in the 27th minute when McILRAVEY slotted home after good work by McCabe. Nine minutes later, Penicuik pulled a goal back when BRUCE got the slightest touch to steer the ball past MacPherson.
