On the scoresheet for manager Danny Smith’s men at Innerleithen’s Victoria Park were Conor Kelly with four goals and Kieran Anderson with two, plus Martin France and Morgan Galloway.

The next biggest margin of defeat – three goals – was inflicted on Linton Hotspur, currently second from bottom of the EoSFL’s division three, at Bathgate Thistle.

The Royalists were back in league action on Tuesday, beating Edinburgh Community 4-2 at home at Albert Park, but Vale’s scheduled fixture hosting Lochore Welfare at the same tiime was postponed due to Victoria Park being waterlogged.
