Elgin 2-1 Dumbarton

Mar 16 2008 Euan Macleod Reports

ELGIN skipper Allan Dempsie admitted his side were lucky to win.

The defender watched as Darren Shallicker netted his 10th goal of the season to keep Elgin's faint play-off hopes alive.

Shallicker grabbed the winner in 70 minutes after Michael Moore had cancelled out Ross O'Donoghue's stunning 30-yard strike.

Dempsie said: "It was a poor performance and we've played better but people are beginning to sit up and take notice."

Raging Sons boss Jim Chapman said: "Childish mistakes cost us and we lacked a cutting edge but we made chances and deserved to win."
