Up Next - East Fife
Is Tam the Man?
By Sonny Rock
April 5 2002
Two disastrous results leave Sons with a nail-biting finish to the season. The four remaining fixtures are difficult but winnable and hopefully starting at home to East Fife. The Fifers have nothing really to play for as they have recovered from a poor start to the season to finish in mid-table.

Two
disastrous results leave Sons with a nail-biting finish to the
season. The four remaining fixtures are difficult but winnable
and hopefully starting at home to East Fife. The Fifers have
nothing really to play for as they have recovered from a poor start to
the season to finish in mid-table (much like ourselves last season).

| The last visit of the
season to New Bayview saw Sons play well but as we have recently
seen not take their chances and end up punished. Mortimer
nicked the winner for the Fifers late on in the first half.. East
Fife 1 Dumbarton 0 Dumbarton
were on a roll in December and Paddy Flannery's headed winner made
it five wins out of five as Sons moved into second place in the
league for the first time this season. Dumbarton
1 East Fife 0.
Mark Crilly continued his
excellent start to his Sons career as he gave Dumbarton the lead
early in the second half but sloppy defending and an excellent
performance from Fifers super-sub James Allen saw Sons then
concede four goals.
East Fife 4 Dumbarton 1.

While Dumbarton's
away form has been poor of late at The Rock we have won the last
five on the trot. This is encouraging news as 3 of our last
4 fixtures are at home.

The Opposition - East Fife |
| Revenge
may be on the East Fife players minds as they will try to return
the 'favour' we did them by scuppering their promotion hopes at
the last game at Boghead. |
