Dumbarton Football Club - Sons of the Rock 1872
PENALTY AGONY IN CHALLENGE CUP
Sunday 25th July 2010
DUMBARTON were put out of the ALBA Challenge Cup in a very cruel way today as they went down to Morton on penalties.
The first round tie was goalless after 90 minutes and extra time - but was not short of action.
Sons keeper Stephen Grindlay produced a vintage performance, making several great saves from the First Division side.
However, his opposite number, Colin Stewart, was also tested, and a minute from the end of extra time, turned a goalbound Paul Maxwell header over.
Ross Campbell was unsuccessful with Sons' first penalty before Alan Cook, Martin McNiff and Andy Geggan all scored. Morton had netted all four of theirs before Stewart saved from Ryan McStay.
