Peterhead 2-0 Brechin City

Peterhead kept their play-off hopes alive with a deserved 2-0 win over Brechin at Balmoor.

The Blue Toon went in front in the 20th minute with a stunning 25-yard free-kick from defender Bobby Mann.

The hosts sealed victory after 75 minutes when Graham Sharp drove a low cross to the back post for Stuart Mackay to side-foot home.

City's misery was complete when Adam Nelson was sent off in the 83rd minute for receiving his second yellow card.
