A Little Ambition....

On the bus we got to make our way out to Dumbarton for this weekends match. The lads knew it was an important match to take three points, as it would push our squad up the table. Dumbarton came out looking a little flat and were exposed at the back on a few occasions early into the match. We went into the changeroom 2-0 up and the message from the coach was to not let down. The second half was more memorable for the 25 yard strike that put our team up 3-0. As the whistle blew for full time we knew that we made some kind of gains in the table. When we gathered for post match eats, the team found out we jumped from 8th position in the table to 5th. It's still very early in the season but we're closer to the top of the table now and it's still very tight within the whole league. A win alone can push a team up a couple spots. So now there is a little excitement to do well because the thought of division 1 football is in the back of everyone's minds as well as the taste of success. Plenty of hard work to get through first, as the season is still young.

Cowdenbeath FC 3-0 Dumbarton

(Ross County Stadium)

Earlier on in the week the reserve side had a match out in Ross County where we went down 2-0 by halftime. This was a game of two halfs, I felt that we had a couple chances that could have turned the game around if we had put them away in the first half. The second half was a better performance as the team found better shape and played more like a unit. As we all know you have to show up to play 90 plus minutes, no matter how long bus drive is before the game. This upcoming Tuesday the reserve side will see East Fife at our grounds for a 730pm kickoff.
