Glenrothes went one up within 24 seconds after Ports central defender John Ward headed back to the keeper. Glens Benny Andrews was quick to intercept the pass back and slotted the ball home.  Tayport tried hard to get back into the game but like the OVD final they failed to capitalise on their goalmouth efforts. With 5 minutes remaining in the first half  Port were awarded a penalty after a Gareth Dailly cross ball was handled in the area. John Ward sent the keeper the wrong way. In the second period Tayport had no problem getting the ball into the Glens goal area but again failed to make anything of the chances they created. Port came very close to going level when a Ralph Hunter effort brought of a tremendous diving save from Glens Clive Guppy in goal. Glenrothes replied almost immediately with a driven shot from 20 yards beating Ports Frazer Fitzpatrick.
Port need to win the 4 remaining games and turn around a huge goal difference of 14 if they are to retain the title.
