Pre-Season Friendlies
DUMBARTON'S friendly campaign drew to a close with a 1-1 draw in a local derby match against Clydebank.
They went behind to a Mark Hailstones goal, which came after Michael White had palmed away Steven Dymock's penalty.
However, with two minutes remaining, Martin McNiff salvaged a share of the points by blasting in an equaliser.
Sons fielded a youthful side which also included three trialists, along with one or two first team players who needed match practice.
The first half was a non-event, but six minutes after the restart came the opening goal.
Alan Cook handled a goalbound shot by Mark Kilpatrick, but White managed to save from Dymock.
Hailstones, though, was first to the loose ball and fired home to give the junior side the lead.
Soon after, Sons nearly fought back with a Paul Maxwell header which was saved.
Scott Chaplain then headed against the bar, with Maxwell blasting the rebound over.
Kilpatrick went close with a header, while a Liam Mushet shot from distance was stopped by the keeper.
Then, with two minutes to go, Sons prevented a defeat to their local rivals with a late equaliser.
A Derek Carcary cross was only half cleared, and McNiff's shot from 20 yards had the keeper well beaten.
