The visitors continued to push for an equaliser before the interval, but Cameron Chalmers made a last-ditch clearance in the 45th minute to preserve Cumnock's advantage.

Largs made two changes at half-time, with Cory Hughes and Corrie Fellows replacing Kieran Brady and Laurie McMaster.

Goalkeeper George O'Connor was called into action in the 52nd minute and made an important save to keep the deficit at one.
