A high-flying Dumfries team travelled to Glasgow full of confidence after four wins in a row and clean sheets in their last two.
But players knew the game would not be a stroll in the park as Hillhead were on the same points in the league.
Dumfries started the sharper side and this paid off after 10 minutes, when they took the lead. Read the rest of this entry »
After a three-week break, Dumfries were looking to continue the form that had seen them win their last two matches in the league and climb the table into fifth place.

Dumfries mens hockey team welcomed GHK to the King George V Park on Saturday hoping to secure their first league points of the new season.
However, after a disappointing first half display saw the home side 2 – 0 down, a win seemed very unlikely but this was to be the proverbial game of two halves.
