The Barclays Scottish Women’s Championship has tightened after a dramatic afternoon which saw leaders Rossvale lose to Stenhousemuir, bottom side Ayr United pick up their first win against Inverness Caledonian Thistle and a pulsating draw in the Tayside Angus derby in Forfar.
Megan Robb hit a spectacular goal from distance to open the scoring on 50 minutes but Yasmin McCagh equalised on 70 for Forfar Farmington in front of a decent crowd in the sun.
In-form Stenny stunned leaders Rossvale 3-1 in Kirkintilloch, winger Kyla Thomson opening the scoring within seconds of kick-off, Vickerman nodding in a second six minutes later and Cerys Corey tapped in a third late in the first half.
Rossvale fought back in the second half and pulled one back on 55 minutes
