Colin Reilly saluted never-say-die Arthurlie after they took a huge step forward to safety with an injury-time victory.
On a dramatic afternoon as jeopardy and tension filled the air at sun-soaked Dunterlie, Kilwinning Rangers thought they had done just enough to secure a point on Saturday.
Arthurlie’s Gary Carroll opened the scoring and went on to miss a first-half penalty before Ally McColm equalised for the Buffs after the break.
