Cowden slipped 6 points behind Stenhousemuir and fell down to 4th in the league after a dissapointing defeat to the league leaders. It was a below par first half for Cowden which Stenny took full advantage off - firstly Gary Thom headed home from a Stoke City style long throw before ex Cowden striker Scott Dalziel headered home from a corner.
It was an uphill battle for Cowden which was made even harder when Jay Shields received his second booking for dissent and was sent off. A late Cowden rally was intitated when John Gemmell came on for Marek Tomana and Cowden deservedly got a goal back from ex Stenny star John Dempster. A late flurry of attacks on the Stenny goal didnt bring an equaliser that Cowden would not have deserved.
