This is the up to date 89th + minute Lowland League goal points won/lost after this weekend fixtures.
It has not been a good week for @TheShireFC in this table but there is always hope that things will balance themselves out in the 2nd half of the season.

I unexpectedly missed this match due to a family matter so I have had to pull this together from various sources. I don't have timings for some of the team chances and have therefore recorded then in the report as ?

With today's cup match in mind my thoughts turned to the only previous meeting of East Stirlingshire and Dalbeattie Star in Cup competition which took place in the 1998/99 Scottish Cup. I remember the match well, especially leaping about when Scott "Action Man" Walker scored his 2nd.

After East Stirlingshire's last kick of the ball defeat last night I thought I would have look into all these last minute and later goals which have changed the results in the Lowland League this season. It makes interesting reading.

Yesterday’s fantastic 6-3 win away to Gala Fairydean Rovers got me thinking about previous wins we have had by the same scoreline. It turns out it is a rare beast with only twelve 6-3 wins in our recorded history of 5945 matches since 1880.
Of these twelve 6-3 wins only 9 were in competitive
