Sons warm up before the game

Dumbarton frustratingly lost the lead twice against Alloa Athletic at SHS this afternoon, drawing 2-2 in a match that both sides needed to win.

Well-taken goals from Craig McLeish (36 minutes) and Andy Geggan (48 minutes) had given Sons hope of a vital victory and three points, but the home side were unravelled by defensive frailties.

A brace from Wasps' Michael McGowan either side of the break punished Dumbarton for slips at the back, and they were not able to take advantage of a number of chances, in both halves, that could have sealed the game.

Next week's home game against Peterhead now takes on an even more important complexion for Sons.
