Rossvale and Renfrew have closed the gap at the top of the SWF Championship table, after leaders Livingston were held to a draw by bottom side Morton.
After patient possession play by the hosts, Morton’s top scorer Jacqui Seagrave stepped inside and scored from distance to level in the 83rd minute. The Greenock side could have snatched all three points if a Darroch free kick hadn’t been expertly held by the Livi keeper in injury time.

Ayr United continued their recent momentum to come from behind and beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle 3-1 at home, consolidating their place in the top half of the table.
