Georgia Carter opened the scoring for Montrose at Link's Park

Montrose's SWPL survival hopes were boosted with a narrow 2-1 victory over fellow strugglers Spartans.

Georgia Carter broke the deadlock after half an hour when she latched onto the rebound of Tally Robb's shot which hit off the post.

Cacee McKenna levelled for Spartans 10 minutes later, she capitalised on confusion in the Montrose box to send her low strike beyond Kirsten Pratt and into the back of the net.

Louise Brown scored what proved to be the winning goal on the 74th minute when she latched onto a ball over the top to head home.

The result moves Montrose level on points with Spartans but keeps them in the relegation zone due to the latter's superior goal difference.
