Montrose 3-1 Dumbarton

Feb 10 2008

MONTROSE boss Jim Weir hailed his Link Park troops as they kept on course for the play-offs.

After the match he declared: "The first 45 minutes were the bestwe have played since I came to the club."

Montrose took the lead after five minutes when Stephen Black crossed for Garry Wood to score.

Wood went off with a groin injury in 27 minutes, but two minutes later his replacement, Roddy Hunter, headed home a Black corner to notch his first goal for the club.

Dumbarton's Grant Evans was sent off for a foul on Steven Doris in 59 minutes and Hunter made it 3-0 10 minutes later before Michael Moore grabbed a consolation goal for the Sons.

Dumbarton No.2 Alan Adamson said: "I can't fault my players for effort."
