Match Preview

Key weekend for Adamson Dumbarton winger Derek Carcary remains on the sidelines for the visit of Peterhead. The midfielder is out of the Sons squad because of a hamstring injury with goalkeeper Stephen Grindlay and striker Pat Walker both doubts for the visit of the bottom side. A win for Alan Adamson's side will see the interim Dumbarton boss meet one of the objectives he was set when he took the job last October. Adamson said: "If we win we will have avoided automatic relegation which would be good for starters after being bottom of the table at the end of the first quarter. "To beat Peterhead we will need to score three times as the moment we seem to be losing two goals a game which makes for exciting games for the fans but stressful for the manager." Daniel Moore will miss out for Peterhead. Manager John Sheran has ruled the defender out of his side's crucial clash with front man Martin Bavidge a doubt because of a knock. Sheran said: "Despite being bottom of the table it is a game we are very much looking forward to. "It is a must win and the boys will be well up for it after a week of really focused and intense training after a disappointing result against Airdrie last weekend. "In all the games I have seen Peterhead have had a really good half and a really poor half. If we play like we can for a 90 minute period I am sure that we can take the three points back up the road with us."

Match Report

Five alive for Ton Dumbarton shone as five different players were on the scoresheet in an emphatic 5-2 victory over Peterhead which leaves the bottom club with serious work to do if they are to avoid automatic relegation. Jon McShane's confidently converted effort after 28 minutes put the home side ahead and Pat Walker then fired a left-footed shot into the top corner to make it 2-0 at the interval. Wily forward Dennis Wyness' sharp finish on the hour mark hauled Peterhead back into the game but Jordan Halsman's perfectly-placed free-kick from 25 yards just minutes later restored Dumbarton's two-goal lead. Mark Gilhaney dusted himself down to score from the penalty spot to make it 4-1 after being tumbled by Stirling Smith. And although Peterhead substitute David Ross's thudding volley from 25 yards in the 81st minute reduced the deficit, Dumbarton sub Craig McLeish completed the scoring just a minute later with a tidy finish.
