A late Cowdenbeath goal rescued a 2-2 draw against Dumbarton to keep the Blue Brazil in pole position in the Bell's Scottish Third Division promotion race.

The visitors led 2-1 at the break through goals from Pat Flannery, the second from the penalty spot, but Cowdenbeath were by far the better side throughout.

Keith Wright grabbed the Fifers' first goal on 21 minutes and then saw Dumbarton keeper John Wight pull off a series of great saves to deny him, Craig Winter and Toby King.

Mark Bradley also went close with a header which was clawed away by the keeper from under his own bar but the pressure eventually told.

Five minutes from time substitute Murray McDowall headed in Jimmy Boyle's cross to earn a point.
