However, the game was overshadowed by an injury to Girvan's Michael Holden who left the ground in an ambulance with a suspected broken ankle after a 50/50 tackle. We wish him a speedy recovery.
Back to the game, and it was a scrappy affair and the visitors started nervously, and it was no surprise when Girvan took the lead after eight minutes.
Michael Moffat broke from deep in his own half and fed David McVittie on the left who burst into the box. His shot was parried by Brian McGarrity into the path of Moffat, who continued his run, and he shot home.
The goal actually settled the visitors and they began to play with a bit more purpose and soon found themselves level.
Iain Connelly sent over a dangerous cross from the right flank, which Jim Wilson met perfectly to powerfully head past Stuart Leavy in the Girvan goal.
This was an important game for Annbank, who needed the win to avoid falling further into a dogfight at the bottom of the table.
And for the remainder of the first half they pressured Girvan into mistakes and tried to create openings.
On 25 minutes the game was stopped for 10 minutes due to the sickening injury to Holden.
The incident shook his teammates and they were lucky to get to halftime still level. The visitors were still pushing and early in the second half they should have taken the lead but for an excellent stop from Leavy.
Wilson made room for himself eight yards out and looked destined to score, but a terrific reflex stop from Leavy denied the striker.
But after 53 minutes, the visitors did get their noses in front. Scott Houston, brought on for the injured Holden, clipped Michael McCann inside the box and ref Colin Steven was in no doubt it was a penalty.
Wilson stepped up to send the spot kick high into the keeper's left and give his side the lead.
The Seasiders huffed and puffed but did not look like scoring and it looked like they were going to need a piece of luck to get back into it.
And that was exactly what they got. A quick ball to Moffat allowed him to break for the visitors goal, and as Annbank's Darwin Johnstone gave chase his hamstring gave way forcing him to pull up.
It allowed Moffat to charge in on goal on his own and as McGarrity rushed from his line to challenge him, he slipped the ball inside to the path of Darren Mitchell who couldn't miss from six yards.
The goal changed the game completely and galvanised the Hamilton Park side.
They came within centimetres of taking the lead just two minutes later when McVittie headed on to the post from Biggart's corner and then Stevie O'Donnell saw his header cleared off the line.
But, almost inevitably, Girvan's third came with 10 minutes remaining when the Annbank defence failed to deal with Leavy's long kick and Moffat nipped in to drill the ball home from 12 yards.
And two minutes later Tony Murphy got his name on the scoresheet when finished from just inside the area to make the three points certain.
The injury in the lead-up to Girvan's second certainly changed the game completely as they didn't really look like scoring and looked like dropping all three points.
It was a victory that capped a good weekend for Billy Thomson's men who took an excellent three points away to Kilsyth Rangers thanks to goals from Scott McGilp and Danny Cunningham.
Six points in their last two games have almost cemented their place in the First Division for next season and victory tonight (Thursday) over relegation-certs Hurlford would, in all probability, guarantee it.
