In the 20th minute a Newmachar free kick cleared the wall and was parried by Lorenson but a Newmachar player was on hand to equalise.
A minute later Milne beat the offside trap but his shot was saved by the Newmachar keeper at his near post.
In the 31st minute a Newmachar free kick again cleared the wall. Lorenson pushed the ball on to the post and unfortunately for Johnshaven it rebounded off him into the net to put Newmachar into the lead.
Five minutes later a corner by Dalgarno was played into the six yard box where a Newmachar player handled. Ross Blease converted the penalty to level the score at 2-2.
