Club chairman Tam McCreadie said: “It was a good win on Saturday and a good display. They were down to ten men early on but you have to take advantage and score goals which we did.
“It looked as if it was going to be a good game, both teams were playing well, but the sending off was the turning point.
“In the second half we dominated the game. The only ball out they had was to their pacy centre forward but he came off in the second half with a slight injury and after that they had nothing to trouble us.
“It’s a good three points from our first league game at home - that’s where we have to pick up points in this league.”
On Saturday Girvan have a tough match away to surprise league leaders Irvine Vics who have won four out of four in the league.
