Honours even at the top of the SWF Championship as Renfrew recover from recent reversal in Livingston
Renfrew Ladies recovered from their recent 10-1 humbling in Livingston by holding the Championship leaders to a one-all draw in the reverse fixture at New Western Park.
Livingston winger Beth McKay had given the visitors a half-time lead after she latched on to a neat pass from Raewyn Murphy on 18 minutes and fired it low into the net, but Renfrew forward Sinead Macleod drifted in at the back post to score a deserved equaliser on the 70th minute.
As full time approached Livingston spurned chances for the winner, and the draw means Rossvale, Ayr United and Inverness Caledonian Thistle move closer to the top two.
Caley Thistle came from behind to beat Hutchison Vale 2-1 at home thanks to a double from Rhea Hossack. Ayr United took maximum points from Dundee with goals from Clare Docherty and Lauren Sloan early in the game ahead of a Dryburgh fightback which saw Alma Codegoni fire home from a corner into the roof of the net. Rossvale beat Morton 2-0 in Port Glasgow.
In League One, leaders FC Edinburgh beat Stenhousemuir 3-1 at Ochilview which allowed Saint Mirren to climb into fourth in the table with a 6-1 victory over Dundee West.

In the regional Biffa SWFL, Livingston Reserves moved to the top of the SWFL East with a 2-1 win over Edinburgh University Thistle, after previous leaders Central Girls were beaten by Linlithgow Rose.
