Dumbarton U19 v Greenock Morton U19

5 February 2012
Scottish League, Under 19 Youth Division
Dumbarton U19 1 Greenock Morton U19 2 (att 40)

After the farce of the previous afternoon's game at Saltcoats it was nice to have the certainty of a 3G surface for this lunchtime game.

Venues for Scottish League youth team games tend to vary from week to week, but Dumbarton are currently using the all-weather pitch at the Glasgow Club Drumoyne, not far from Ibrox. it's a typical cage-like 3G pitch, although spectators can at least stand inside the high fencing.

The game was decent enough. Morton were already 1-0 ahead when Dumbarton lost a player to a straight red card inside 20 minutes. The visitors went 2-0 ahead before half time, and looked to be strolling to an easy win.

But, despite their numerical disadvantage, Dumbarton played well after the break and pulled a goal back. Morton always looked likely to score a third but somehow didn't.
