Despite being three goals up after just 29 minutes we had to settle for a point, which officially secured our play off place, as City launched a dramatic second half comeback.
There were two changes to the side from the draw at Arbroath with Brian Fairbairn and Jon Robertson replacing Mark Ramsay and Craig Winter who dropped to the bench.
We got the game off to a flying start with just two minutes on the clock when Gareth Wardlaw slid the ball home from a McQuade cross.
Things got even better four minutes later when a poor clearance fell to Darren McGregor who lashed a 25 yard volley past keeper Nelson, who managed to get a hand to the ball but was unable to keep it out of the net.
We went further ahead on 29 minutes when McQuade and Robertson played a neat one-two with the ball eventually finding Wardlaw whose well timed run took him in for his 13th goal of the season.
Seven minutes into the second half City commenced their comeback when King set up Rory McAllister who smashed the ball into the net.
Two minutes later the same players once again combined to get the home sides seconf goal with a King pass splitting the Cowden defence for McAllister to side foot home his 27th goal of the campaign.
Five minutes from time we almost added a fourth goal but McQuade’s shot hit the underside of the cross bar and a minute later the home side completed their comeback when Krisjanis Vallers battled his way into the box and sent an angled shot past Hay.
