Lanark United lost out by the odd goal in seven in last Saturday’s home Conference C encounter against Petershill.

Sweeney put the visitors ahead early on before Ian Watt shot home from 20 yards after receiving a Cammy Lawson pass to equalise.

It was 2-1 Lanark at half-time thanks to Eliot netting from a Watt pass.
