Jimmy Nicholl's side flew out of the blocks in the second half and went 4-0 up 30 seconds after the restart when Stewart fired in his second from the centre of the box.


But the hosts pulled one back in the 66th minute when Anthony Andreu steered the ball past visiting goalkeeper Thomas Flynn, before James Keatings scored from the spot after Jason Scotland was fouled in the box.


Andreu made it 4-3 in the 86th minute but Cowdenbeath held on to take all three points.
