Renfrew boss Jimmy Quigley paid tribute to his players for bouncing back from adversity on their seemingly relentless march towards the WoSFL Division Two title.
The New Western Park club travelled to Ayrshire to face one of the only remaining serious contenders for top spot.
Knowing a win would send them 13 points clear of rivals Maybole, the Renfrewshire side were well below par in the first half and went behind early in the second half.
