LOMOND UNITED 1, UNITED COLLEGES 3
ANOTHER poor night for Lomond United as their losing streak in Ladybank stretched to four games.
It started well for the home side as David Elder gave his side the lead on 15 minutes, rifling home the rebound after his penalty had been saved.
Despite nowhere near their best, Lomond had opportunities to extend that lead before it all started to go wrong midway through the half.
Alan Reid lost possession in his own half which caught out the home defence and an unmarked striker had time to pick his spot.
A jaded looking home side struggled to keep pace with the young students in the second half and the visitors ran out deserved winners.
A near post free-kick was turned into the net on the hour as the Lomond marking left a lot to be desired.
Lomond failed to register a serious attempt on goal in the second half with play breaking down in the final third.
Colleges were gifted a third goal in the final minute as Liam Farrell's late tackle resulted in a penalty, the taker of which gave Bushnell no chance.

LOMOND UNITED 0, MILTON VIOLET 1
LOMOND lost their third home game in a row after Milton's smash and grab.
The home side had most of the play but could not convert pressure into goals as Milton's only shot on target won them the match.
That came from the penalty spot with just 15 minutes left after stand-in goalkeeper Fraser Thomson upended the visitors number eight in the box.
A red card followed for Thomson despite the striker having knocked the ball out of play and Lomond having a defender in line with the incident.
Lomond felt aggrieved at the referee's decision, especially given that a Milton midfielder escaped with just a yellow for a stamp in the first half.
After a scrappy opening 15 minutes Lomond emerged as the more dominant side but despite getting behind the defence on numerous occasions, the final ball let them down.
That story continued into the second half although David Elder was inches away with two long range efforts.
Alan Reid saw a chip beat the keeper on 65 minutes, but a defender headed the ball off the line.
Milton were pinned back and defending resolutely but won the penalty on a rare foray into the Lomond box, following a poor kick-out by Thomson.
Despite down to 10 men, Lomond remained the more dominant side but despite giving everything, there was to be no equaliser.

BURNTISLAND UNITED 0, LOMOND UNITED 2
LOMOND travelled down to Burntisland for a league fixture.
The vistors started well and created a few chances with Dales and Caldwell going close.
After 25 minutes Keith Morris won the ball in the middle of park and from 25 yards let fly into the top corner with an unstoppable shot.
Just before half-time Dales hit the post after the keeper saved his first effort.
Lomond were awarded a penalty after Reid was brought down in the box, up stepped Caldwell to blast the ball into the corner to make it 2-0.
The visitors continued to press and should have scored a couple more but after 82 minutes the ref awarded a penalty to the homesters, which Bushnell saved well.
A welcome three points and a good performance.
