Match Report
Pre-match talk was all about Billy Dodds arrival and Robbie Winters departure to Aberdeen but some things stay the same as we drew with the Pars for the fifth consecutive match! Billy Dodds did come on as a substitute but was unable to change the course of the game.
Gary McSwegan shot us ahead when his effort took a deflection off Squires after carrying a pass from Kjell Olofsson deep into opposition territory. That lead was cancelled out by a Squires first time shot into the bottom comer shortly before the break.
In the second half both sides had chances to win it, Neil Duffy heading against the bar and Petrie striking the outside of the post late on.
