SONS STUN BINOS

03-Apr-2010

Two second half goals by Dennis Wyness could well have ended Albion's second division titles hopes, and kept Jim Chapman's men in contention for a play-off place.

Dumbarton started the game positively, with efforts from Wyness and Scott Chaplain coming close. But ex-Son Allan Moore's side — which included another ex-Son, Ian Russell, on loan from Morton — also mounted several attacks inspired by good play on both wings.

Half-time arrived with the scoresheet still surprisingly blank, but five minutes after the restart Nathan Taggart fired a shot across the crowded goalmouth and into the far corner of the net to put the Binos in front.

However their lead only last three minutes, as a cross from the left wing found Wyness in space and he calmly lobbed the keeper to level the score.

The winner came a few minutes before the end, when substitute Derek Carcary outpaced a defender, veered towards the left side of the box, then swivelled and sent a low cross which found Wyness all alone at the far post to tap home a simple and deserved winner.
