Polonia took the lead mid-way through the first half through Oliver Camins and desperately pressed for a second.
But Bayswater were fast on the counter-attack and on one such attack Corey Plug scored to level the scores for Bayswater.

When their opportunity came Oliver Trichilo scored to give Polonia the 2-1 win and hand Bayswater their second loss of the season.

A second followed shortly afterwards and Rangers were pleased to hear the half-time whistle.

Despite Stirling Rangers having a few more chances they were unable to capitalise and it was Polonia who put the game to bed with a Will Smith goal 10 minutes from time for the 3-1 win.
