BARNTON succumbed to another four-goal thrashing - their second in the past three away days.
But this time the scoreline gives a false impression as Steve O'Hara's men matched their opponents for long periods.
They enjoyed the better of the opening stages, Paul Allen's free kick hitting the post to deny them an early lead.

The hosts had chances of their own only for keeper Andy Hewitt to thwart their best efforts.
Playing into a strong wind in the second half, the visitors took the game to Curzon and played some of their best football under the new manager.
Their lack of punch in the final third cost them though.
Curzon struck three times in a 10-minute spell to settle the outcome, adding a fourth in stoppage time to add insult to injury.
" We played some quality football but lacked any real threat up front," was secretary Mike Allen's verdict at full time.
