Armadale Thistle have edged in front in the Barclays Scottish Women’s League One after leaving Paisley with maximum points and a 4-2 win over St Mirren.

Megan Murray had the Saints in front early on, but Katie Hay had recovered from an evening at the Scottish Women’s Football awards where she picked up SWFL Player of the Year to put in a solid display, scoring a brace in the win, with Katie MacGregor and Khya McGurk also scoring for the West Lothian side.

A second half goal flurry from Bonnyrigg Rose in Dumfries gave them a 4-0 win over Queen of the South and kept them level on points with the new league leaders, dropping St Mirren down to third.

Giffnock SC earned their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Edinburgh Caledonia, while Inverurie Locos were 2-1 down at home against Dunipace after half an hour but came back to win 5-2. The match between Kilwinning and Dundee West was abandoned after 60 minutes.

In the Barclays Scottish Women’s Championship, leaders East Fife edged out Dryburgh Athletic after a Harriet Anderson strike separated the sides at 78 minutes.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle were back to winning ways with a 3-0 victory over Westdyke, Falkirk beat Stirling University 1-0 and a first half double from Becky Downs gave Renfrew Ladies a 2-0 win at Glasgow Girls and Women.

Morton put eight past bottom side Hutchison Vale with no reply.
