Stirling and East Stirling battle out draw in derby

The Stirlingshire derby ended goalless as neither Stirling or East Stirling were able to find a way through at Forthbank Stadium.Hosts Albion had the better chances but failed to find a way through and had Ross Smith dismissed in stoppage time.Alex Cunningham came close in the first period for the home side with a mazy run which ended in him firing just wide, while Chris Smith saved with his legs from Jonny Court at the other end.That stop was more than matched by East Stirling goalkeeper Darren Dolan, who somehow prevented Ross Forsyth's header from finding the top corner.Dolan thwarted Steven Doris and Cunningham with two more fine saves in the second period before Smith was sent off late on for a robust challenge on Nathan Shepherd.
