Eight-goal thriller at Arbroath
East Stirling edged an eight-goal thriller as they claimed a 5-3 win away at Arbroath.
Kieran McAnespie put the hosts ahead after 23 minutes when he headed home Paul Sheerin`s cross from inside the six-yard box.
But the Shire hit back with two goals in 10 minutes, with Scott Johnston drawing the scores level after 28 minutes before David Dunn`s superb long-range effort gave them the lead.
Just four minutes later, McAnespie turned provider to set up Alan Rattray for the equaliser, but the goal frenzy was not over and Stephen Maguire put the visitors ahead just seconds into the second half from close range.
Dunn`s second gave McInally`s men a two-goal cushion on the hour mark but after Steven Doris was fouled by Craig Tully in the box, he picked himself up to slot home the penalty after 67 minutes.
Amazingly, Doris then had the chance to make it 4-4 with another penalty 10 minutes from time, but he missed the target.
And he was made to pay just moments later when Stuart Beveridge smashed in a superb shot from 30 yards to secure the win.
