DUMBARTON hope their long wait for a game will end on Saturday – but if it does, they will have it tough.

League leaders Cowdenbeath are visitors to the Rock, looking to make it three wins out of three against Sons this season.

And to make things that bit more difficult, the Blue Brazil have already returned to action after the big freeze.

They drew 2-2 away to local rivals East Fife on Saturday to go three points clear of second-placed Stirling Albion.

Cowden were 3-0 winners at the Rock in the first meeting of the sides in September, while they also triumphed 2-1 at Central Park two months later.

They will be looking for a third victory to continue exacting revenge on Sons for overtaking them in the title race last season.

Kick-off will be at the usual 3pm, with the supporters' bar open at 12.30pm for season ticket holders and 1.15pm for non-holders.

Sons' four postponed fixtures, at home to Alloa and Stenhousemuir and away to Clyde and Brechin, have still to be re-scheduled.
