A try by Matt Coupar eight minutes from the end of the RBS Premiership clash between Edinburgh Accies and Stirling County at Raeburn Place gave Accies a 13-10 win and threw the battle to avoid the play-off spot into the melting pot while ensuring Boroughmuir are relegated.
Tries from Steve Swindall and Struan Robertson gave Stirling a 10-8 first-half lead, with the Accies points coming from a Nyle Godsmark try and a Ruairdh Bonner penalty.
Despite massive Accies second- half pressure, which saw them held up on the line at least four times, the clock was running down on their hopes of moving out of second-bottom slot until Coupar's try in the 72nd minute.
