Man of the Match: |
A Gareth Wardlaw header with 19 minutes to go gave us our third win of the season over the Warriors to keep the pressure on league leaders Alloa.
There were three changes to the side which had taken the field for the abandoned midweek clash with Stirling Albion.
Brian Fairbairn, Jon Dempster and Jon Robertson all returned to the side with Mark Baxter ruled out due to injury while Paul McQuade and Jay Stein dropped to the bench.
The goalless opening period saw chances for both sides to break the deadlock with Dempster, Wardlaw and Fairbairn all testing McLuskey while at the other end Dalziel and Gibb came close for the Warriors with their best chance falling to Motion who saw his free kick well saved by Hay.
Ten minutes after the restart we had a good claim for a penalty waived aside when a McGregor shot came off a visiting defenders arm.
The breakthrough however came after 71 minutes when Winter slotted the ball to Robertson who sent over a perfect cross from the right wing for Gareth Wardlaw to bullet home from ten yards.
The Warriors chances of an equaliser were few and far between with the best chance falling to Dalziel who fired wide of the target.
