Both sides had won their opening three games in the new Championship South ahead of their top-of-the-table clash at New Western Park.

And it was the visitors from Bishopbriggs who made the early breakthrough, top scorer Jemma McQuillan making a break past the Renfrew defence and slotting the ball past the keeper.

Rossvale dominated the first half hour and missed a few goal scoring opportunities, but did go 2-0 up as a Renfrew defender put the ball into her own net.

But in a tight game with chances at both ends and both teams displaying why they both were fighting for top spot, Renfrew hit back with a goal before half-time and two more in the second period to take the win.

Scorers for the home side were Sammy Jo Smith (2) and Karen Baillie.
