Dunfermline Athletic

Thursday, 30th Apr 2009

The Pars have won nine of the last dozen meetings, QOS`s win in January was their first league win over the Pars in the league since 1986.

QOS v Dunfermline 13/12/08

Dunfermline travel to Dumfries on Saturday for their final away match of the 2008-09 season. The impressive win at Dingwall in the last First Division match was follow by that disappointing day at Hampden last Sunday. Everyone is hoping that the final three fixtures of the season will see the Pars climb the table.

Queen of the South had a good start to the season but have slid down the table principally because theyt failed to win a league match from 25th October until they came to East End Park at the end of January. That 2-0 win ended their miserable run of 12 matches that saw them picked up just three points from draws.
