From four there were two left - we eliminated Peterhead from the promotion equation with that fine 3-0 victory at The Rock - this also meant Montrose had finally ran out of games and can't make the second spot.  However Albion Rovers kept the pressure up with a 3-0 victory over Stirling Albion meaning Sons fans will still be biting their nails this Saturday.  It's going to come down to the wire and CSN takes another look at Sons and our rivals final run-in.

Dumbarton

Dumbarton currently sit in second place and maintained their two point lead over Albion Rovers with yet another vital win over Peterhead.  Sons dominated the match after the break and goals from Robert Dunn, Andy Brown and John Dillon kept the goal difference up aswell.

Date  Opponent Venue Current Position
27-04-2002  Queen's Park The Rock 10th 

Sons are in the driving seat in their final match against Queens Park.  A draw might be enough if Albion Rovers win by  two goals or less.  But should Rovers go on a goal spree and win by three clear goals Sons would need to win to go up.

Albion Rovers

Rovers have continued on their impressive run and its now NINE games since their last defeat.  The Coatbridge side are the form team and showed they have found their goal scoring form with the 3-0 win over Stirling Albion.  

Date  Opponent Venue Current Position
27-04-2002  Elgin City Cliftonhill 6th

Albion Rovers face Elgin City who have hit a slump which was highlighted by their defeat at home to Queens Park.  Rovers will go all out for goals as it could come to that if Sons draw their home match.

Odds

Rovers fans probably expected Sons to drop points in either of the games against Brechin or Peterhead.  Queens Park showed how much they have improved when they beat Elgin to record their third straight away victory.  With Elgin faltering perhaps Rovers have the easier of the two games, but with Dumbarton now recording six home wins on the trot its in our own capable hands.
