The Whites are now within touching distance of Institute after John Gregg's surrendered a lead of their own in stoppage time.

The Crues moved in front on 26 minutes after a Ross Arthurs effort came back off an upright for Jordan Owens to knock home from ten yards.

They doubled their lead nine minutes later when Owens teed Arthurs up to finish after the Whites defence had lost possession.

But all wasn't lost for Distillery when, three minutes from half-time, Glenn Ferguson popped up with a header to halve the deficit.

And their recovery was complete on 65 minutes when Andy Kilmartin crossed for Paul Muir to send a header past Chris Keenan.
