Match Preview

Forfar hopeful of finally returning to action Dumbarton boss Alan Adamson will name an unchanged squad for the visit of Forfar. Out of favour midfielder Scott Chaplain has joined Albion Rovers on loan. Adamson said: "After such a good performance last Tuesday we were raring to go against East Fife at the weekend, so it was a bit of a let down when that game was called off. "We played really well last week and have to hope that we can win this one as well to get a bit of momentum behind us. "Forfar may not have played for a wee while, however Dick Campbell is a wily campaigner and he will have his side well organised and out to win." Forfar boss Dick Campbell has a fully-fit squad to choose from. Forfar are looking to get back playing again in their first match since going down to East Fife in the Scottish Cup on November 20. Former Dunfermline full-back Greg Ross is in line for his debut. "Dumbarton gave Alloa a right bloody nose last week and will be looking to build on that so we need to be ready despite our lengthy lay-off," said Campbell. "I can only hope that this game goes ahead as the schedule we are going to be facing going forward will be hard enough as it is."

Match Report

Quickfire goals snatch win for Forfar Forfar struck two goals in two minutes to claim a 2-1 win at bottom club Dumbarton. An upset looked on the cards when Pat Walker put the struggling hosts ahead with a cool close-range finish after 26 minutes. But Forfar, who have not played a league game since November, hit back in the second half to move into the top four. Mark Fotheringham hammered in a superb long-range strike in the 71st minute to spark the visitors into life. And there was barely time for Dumbarton to recover from that setback before Bryan Deasley lashed home the winner a minute later. Dumbarton, who beat Alloa 4-1 in their last match, showed some spirit in the closing stages but ultimately fell to their 13th defeat in 18 league matches.
