ALTHOUGH Lomond never looked like losing their first home match of the season, they struggled to put the game to bed.
A series of corners was all Lomond could muster despite dominating possession early on so the home side were relieved when a fortunate bounce gave them their opener on 40 minutes.
Keith Morris took a free-kick from just inside his own half and his frustration at overhitting the ball turned to joy when it took a wicked bounce over the goalkeeper's head and into the net.
Rosyth started to come back into the game after the break as Lomond's wasteful free-kicks failed to trouble the visiting defence.
Finally, United fashioned a clear chance to score on 70 minutes as Fraser Thomson floated a cross into the box, which Liam Farrell brilliantly directed past the keeper with his head.
Their second consecutive league victory takes Lomond up to fifth place in the Second Division, eight points behind table-toppers Benarty, who visit Ladybank next Saturday.
