SORRY SONS LOSE AGAIN

19-Sep-2009

A large home crowd saw the side appear for the first time in the new third strip, but it failed to inspire the players.

Scott McBride opened the scoring for the visitors — captained by ex-Son Craig Winter — in 15 minutes, and ten minutes later Gareth Wardlaw made it two.

Sons did create some chances, with Derek Carcary and Roddy Hunter getting into good positions but failing to find the net.

In the second half the pattern was much the same, and after McBride netted his second in the 53rd minute the home crowd were silenced and the atmosphere went out of the game.

Sub striker Denis McLaughlin had a couple of good chances in the final minutes, and new signing Adam Strachan impressed with his pace and trickery on the right wing.

With Clyde winning it meant that Sons returned to the foot of the division, still with only two points.
