---------
Meadow's chances of retaining the league title are all but over after this defeat against league leaders Beith. Zander Ryan gave Meadow the lead after 20 minutes with a powerful shot from the edge of the box in 20 minutes and the score stayed the same until half-time. Meadow started the second half strongly and missed a few good chances before Beith equalized on the hour mark. Beith took the lead soon after in controversial circumstances. A Meadow attack ended with the stand side assistant awarding a corner kick to the home side but this was over-ruled by the referee who awarded a goal kick to Beith. The visitors went straight upfield and were awarded a penalty when Mark Crilly was adjudged to have pushed an opponent in the box. Crilly was shown a second yellow card and Beith made no mistake from the spot. With Meadow down to ten men and pushing for an equalizer it was no surprise that gaps were beginning to appear in the Meadow defence and it was little surprise that the pacy Beith forwards took advantage with a further 2 goals.
