Renfrew FC were edged out 1-0 by Largs Thistle at Barrfields on Saturday with a single early second-half goal settling a tight Premier Division contest.<\/p>\n

There was little between the sides in the first half. Renfrew goalkeeper Jack Donohoe was the busier of the two, making a number of saves to keep things level. William Sewell forced an early stop, while Largs also saw efforts from Jamie Martin and others dealt with as the visitors held firm.<\/p>\n

Renfrew\u2019s best moments came from set pieces. Alan Cook went close from a corner, with one effort tipped behind, and another late in the game coming back off the post as they searched for a breakthrough.<\/p>\n

The match remained goalless at the break, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances.<\/p>\n

The decisive moment came shortly after half-time. On 49 minutes, Jamie Martin fired home to give Largs Thistle the lead.<\/p>\n

Renfrew responded and pushed for an equaliser. Donohoe continued to keep his side in the game with a double save to deny Sewell and Lewis Davidson, while the defence made key blocks as Largs looked to extend their lead.<\/p>\n

At the other end, Renfrew came closest again from a corner, striking the post in the closing stages, but they were unable to find a way through.<\/p>\n

Largs saw the game out to take all three points, while Renfrew were left to reflect on missed chances in a match that could have gone either way.<\/p>\n
