Alloa 43 Crieff and Strathearn 28
Alloa clinched a bonus-point victory against a much-changed Crieff side to keep their title hopes on track.
Gary Taylor gave the home side a perfect start with a try after just five minutes.
Back-row teammate Cammy Nimmo swiftly followed with another, cutting through the Crieff defence.
Crieff, clearly opting not to confront Alloa directly, focused on keeping the ball in play.
Alloa promptly shifted the game’s dynamics, employing the field's full width, which led to Robbie Truesdale scoring in the left corner, with Lee Cairney securing his third conversion.
Captain Martin McKenzie then delivered a quick break and finish, ensuring a bonus point for Alloa.
At halftime, the scoreboard read Alloa 26 - 7 Crieff.
With the wind at their backs, Crieff quickly added a second try on the restart.
Though destined for two more tries in the half to earn a bonus point, Alloa had an answer for every Crieff touchdown, maintaining a decisive advantage.
This was followed by the highlight of Alloa's match: a series of expertly timed plays saw Robbie Truesdale, Kris Aitken, Jonny Gray, and finally, Cammy Nimmo, scoring another.
Gary Taylor finished the game with his second try, leaving the score to be Alloa 43 - 28 Crieff and Strathearn.
As Alloa prepares for their last two fixtures, coaches will be looking to tighten defensive strategies.
The focus now shifts to Saturday, when the team travels to St Andrews to face Madras.
Kick-off at Station Park is scheduled for 3pm.
Any kind of victory will keep Alloa on track for the league title.
