The Pars came close once again a minute later when Ryan Thomson clattered the crossbar with his effort.

The visitors flew out of the blocks in the second period and went ahead within 50 seconds of the restart when Liam Coogans scored his first goal for the club from 10 yards out.

Jim Jefferies' men equalised in the 58th minute when Ryan Thomson fired in from the middle of the box, but the Diamonds won the game four minutes later when William McLaren rifled home from 25 yards to make it 2-1.
