Cove squandered the chance to close the gap on leaders Brora after losing a thrilling match at Spain Park in Aberdeen yesterday.
Daryl Nicol scored a hat-trick for Cove, taking his season’s tally to 31, but Locos secured the win with goals from John Maitland, Martin Laing, Michael Selfridge and Joe McCabe, who celebrated his 19th birthday with an 83rd-minute winner.
Speaking after the match, Cove manager John Sheran said he was “raging” with a number of the referee’s decisions, while Locos co-manager Scott Buchan was delighted to take all three points despite not thinking the game should have gone ahead due to the conditions.
