“It wasn’t our best performance but we managed to get the right result,” Tully said of the result. “We were quite wasteful in the game and we could have scored a few more. But we are now five matches unbeaten and you can’t ask for anything more than that.

“I would say all of the teams in the division have improved somewhat from last season and the new teams are all strong, so it is even more impressive that we are where we are. Every match has its own challenges and that the same on Sunday.

“The goal for us now is to keep it going and use the momentum we have at the moment. At any level of football the habit of winning is massive.”

Former East Stirlingshire manager Tully joined the club in the summer and has changed the fortunes of the side quickly.

However, he has put the clubs start all down to his players.

“It has been brilliant,” he added. “I have enjoyed every minute of it. What we are trying to do is improve the squad and not bring in players for the sake of it. The girls have been so responsive to what we are asking them to do on the park and they are reaping the rewards.”
