Match Report
A close run contest saw United edge home. After Kjell Olofsson had scored twice early in the second half, the dismissal of Erik Pedersen fuelled Fife hopes and they pulled a goal back through former Unitedite Harry Curran. However a late and neatly executed strike by Jim McInally ensured United chalked up their fifth successive league win.
