Match Report
A PENALTY from Craig Conway was enough to earn Ayr their first win in twelve games on a cold night at Somerset Park.
The winger converted from the spot after being fouled by ex-Ayr man Willie Lyle early in the second half.
Raith had looked the likelier side during a poor first half but it was United who hit the front when Chris Robertson rose to head home a Conway corner in the 34th minute.
But the lead lasted just two minutes as another ex-Somerset man, Eddie Annand, pounced to lash home a Neil Jablonski pass and level the game.
Conway’s spot kick put Ayr back in charge and they were rarely tested other than an Annand header from a Laurie Ellis cross which flew just wide.
