Western Knights 3-2 Armadale
A five goal thriller at Nash Field saw Armadale go down 3-2 to Western Knights. The visitors took the lead early in the game when Matty Barlow headed in from a Parys Okai cross. But five minutes later in form Knights striker Stuart Montgomery brought the scores level, combining with Mikulic for a quick counter attack. After the break Mikulic put the Knights 2-1 up, heading into an open net after Montgomery struck the woodwork. James Robinson scored a dramatic equaliser in the 88th minute, but the joy of the away fans was short lived when Mikulic scored the winner after two minutes of stoppage time.

Six minutes after the break Balcatta were reduced to ten men, Christopher Thackray receiving a second yellow card. Daniel Neiderberger halved in the 60th minute but it was not enough and the home side emerged victorious.
