Dumfries lined up at home against Hillhead 4s knowing that a win would see them end the day in sixth place and jump their opponents in the league.
John McCoskry was faced with losing one of his better players as he could not get anyone to umpire the game and it was top scorer Iain Callander who chose to drop out of the squad.
The opening goal came ten minutes in and it was the Dumfries side that scored it against the run of play. A break down the right flank saw the cross field ball met at the near post by forward Jimmy Clark and he steered the ball past the keeper and into the bottom corner of the goal.

After some hard pre-work game preparation, Dumfries captain John McCoskry scraped together a team of eleven to travel to Ayr on Saturday.
Missing their top scorer for the season, Jimmy Clark – who is on 15 goals – the Dumfries captain was looking for some of the other players to get themselves on the scoresheet.
The journey to the game was eventful with snow, sleet, road closures and even a traffic accident to get the day started.
Ayr were currently in fourth place in the league and chasing a promotion spot in the table.
It was Ayr who pressed early and a couple of runs down the Dumfries right were dealt with well by Mike Redman and John McCoskry to keep the ball clear of the Dumfries area. Read the rest of this entry »
