The second half started as the first with Craig again failing to beat the keeper in the first minute. Five minutes later Hardie was sent off. This seemed to spur the hosts and, when they won a free-kick 30 yards out, Fraser fired home with Sheridan
letting the ball slip into the net. Rollo was then sent off for a second yellow, and Payne earned a replay with a 20-yard drive.

SOUTH DIVISION
Haddington Athletic 3,
Dalkeith Thistle 1.HADDINGTON took a sixth-minute lead when Ryan Grant got on the end of Kesson's miskicked clearance and hit a sweet first time shot high into the net from 20 yards.
They had the greater of the possession over the course of the first half but couldn't convert their superiority into goals and just three minutes into the second half Dalkeith were level. Kenny Fisher scored from the penalty spot after the referee judged Robert Greenaway guilty of a foul on Steven MacDonald.
Haddington restored their lead within eight minutes when Alex Finlayson struck a terrific free kick past Kesson from 25 yards but Dalkeith were always on the hunt for at least a point before Davie Anderson made sure of things in injury time after rounding Kesson.
Haddington: Stobie, Kelly, Connelly, Sanders, Greenaway, K Manson, Myles, Motion, Finlayson, Anderson, Grant. Subs: Gilmour, Martin, Richardson, Slight, Marr.
Dalkeith: Kesson, Wilson, Herd, Fell, Liddle, Kelly, Bonthrone, Millar, Fisher, C Lynes, McDonald. Subs: Maxwell, Anderson, Nisbet, Ali, Laurie.
