Arbroath 2-3 Albion Rovers
Albion Rovers scraped a victory at Gayfield against an Arbroath side down to 10 men for the whole second half.
Ciaran Donnelly put Rovers ahead from the spot after defender James Bishop was sent off shortly before the break.

But Robbie Raeside's neat shot into the corner restored parity after the break only for Jamie Doyle to quickly curl a wonderful free-kick into the net.

Barry Sellars' superb free-kick brought Arbroath level within a minute, but Pat Walker scored for Rovers on the break.

Berwick 2-2 East Stirlingshire
Berwick Rangers again ran out of steam after a sparkling first-half display as Stephen Dymock missed two late chances to give East Stirlingshire victory.
Robbie Manson's drive gave Berwick the lead after slick build-up involving Ryan McCallum and Stephen Noble.

But Jamie Smith scored a spectacular own goal when he blasted an attempted clearance past keeper Gary O'Connor.

Unmarked Manson fired Berwick back into the lead, but Paul Tweedie turned in a cross after slack defending.

Elgin City 0-2 Dumbarton
Goals from Stephen Dobbie and John Dillon saw Dumbarton cruise to their first away win of the season to leave Elgin at the bottom with no points.
Chris Boyle rattled a shot off a post and Ryan Borris sent a 30-yard volley inches wide as the Sons dominated.

Dobbie put Dumbarton ahead on the hour when he capitalised on confusion in defence to slot home from 10 yards.

Dillon added a second from close range before Elgin's Chris Finigan was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Montrose 1-0 East Fife
Montrose gave David Robertson a debut victory in sole charge to narrow the gap at the top with victory over Division Three leaders East Fife.
Co-manager Eddie Wolecki had departed earlier in the week, but Scott Michie slotted home from an Andy Rogers cross to ensure there was no hangover.

Paul Ritchie had earlier struck the crossbar for the visitors.

Michie squandered a couple of chances, while goalkeeper Andy Reid denied Jonathon Smart a late equaliser.

Stenhousemuir 2-1 Queen's Park
Two goals in the last 10 minutes enabled Stenhousemuir to clinch all three points at home to Queens Park.
The visitors passed up numerous chances before David Weatherston slid the ball past Stenny keeper Willie McCullough after an Alan Trouten through ball.

Trouten and Weatherston squandered opportunites, but John Paul McBride's 35-yard drive whizzed home.

And, a minute later, McBride fired low into the middle and unfortunate Steven Canning sliced wildly into his own net.
