Spartans 3-2 Whitehill

Spartans leveled early in the second half when Ali McKinnon got on the end of a cross and bundled the ball over the line. Keith McLeod put Spartans in front on the hour mark when his shot nestled low in the net.
Willie Bremner then sealed the victory when his powerful shot from twenty-five yards left the keeper with no chance.
