Bell's
League Division Three
Tuesday,

|
| Preview by Sonny Rock |
After
the recent slip-up to Elgin Dumbarton have the chance to partly make
amends in a game we cannot afford to lose. Sons can go four
points clear and put the pressure back on Peterhead as they would then
play their game in hand the following week.

Matches |

season with a 4-2 win over the Shire with goals from Flannery, O'Neill,
Robertson and Bonar although Shires trialist goalie was Sons real
hero that day with a disastrous performance. East

The Rock in October Sons a Paddy Flannery double could only gain
Sons a single point as the promotion campaign stuttered. Dumbarton
2 East Stirling 2.
Sons got revenge for those
dropped points just last month as Crilly and McCann gave Sons a
come from behind win in a narrow 2-1 victory. Dumbarton 2
East Stirling 1.

similar team to the one that lined up against Elgin Albion on
Saturday, although the suspended Kevin McCann should be replaced
by John McKeown.

The Opposition - East Stirling |
| East
Stirling are allegedly moving to Grangemouth at some point
although this is still not confirmed. It looks like they
would like to write-off this season as they have struggled badly -
although this would typically set us up for a fall which we most
certainly can't afford. |
Club Connections |
| None as
far as I know. |
