Blackburn United boosted their East of Scotland Premier Division survival hopes with a shock victory 2-1 away to promotion chasing Penicuik Athletic.
The Burnie battled back from a goal down as Liam Allison levelled things up midway through the second half before top scorer Callum Heath came off the bench to secure three vital points in the closing stages.
The two sides had met the previous week in West Lothian with the Cuikie running out winners by the same scoreline.

Allison saw his effort beaten away by home keeper Robert Watt with Danny Campbell’s follow up blocked while Allison then fired over after waltzing through a couple of defenders.

That saw a change of momentum with Cuikie piling on the pressure as they searched for a second. Ryan Edwards went close but could only blast over the bar from close range.
The equaliser arrived on 66 minutes when Hutton broke clear down the right flank with Campbell flicking the cross onto Allison who looped his header into
