Cowdenbeath v Stirling Albion - Blue Brazil bid to stay in touch

Posted Tuesday, April 27, 2010 by PA

Cowdenbeath will be without injured defender Dene Droudge for the home clash with Stirling Albion, who will bid to clinch the Second Division title.

But Cowdenbeath boss Danny Lennon will be boosted by the return of Kenny Adamson as his side attempt to beat Albion for the first time this season and keep their own title ambitions alive.

Lennon said: "The games between ourselves and Stirling this season have all been very tight and I would imagine this one will be the same.

"A draw is no use to us in terms of climbing the table so we have to get a win.

"A win for us sets up a final day shootout between ourselves, Stirling and Alloa and that just shows how competitive this league is."

Stirling Albion defender Brian Allison could return to boost his side's bid to clinch the Second Division title.

Stewart Devine is the only absentee from Allan Moore's squad as Stirling look to secure the Second Division championship for the first time in 14 years.

Moore said: "It's a bit of a strange situation as the title is in our hands and Cowdenbeath are also in with a shout.

"We've played a lot of football recently, but it's my job to ensure that the boys are up for this one and I don't think it will be too much of a problem getting them motivated.

"Our work-rate and our fitness have taken us close and we'll go to Central Park looking to win the title."
