Seven minutes into the second half Alex Taylor ran on to a Ralph Milne flick to volley home the fourth. On the hour mark Davie Dodds slotted home his first goal of the season following a scramble in the Pars' penalty box. Three minutes later Pars pulled one back when a Steve Morrison header was parried on to the post by Hamish McAlpine but unluckily rebounded into the net via Hamish's body. Eamonn Bannon completed the scoring 20 minutes from time when he headed in an accurate Alex Taylor cross.
