After last Saturday's week off Cowdenbeath are on important business at Peterhead this weekend.

And Cowden really have to win if they are to keep the pressure on at the top of the Barrs Irn Bru Second Division.

There was inactivity at the top of the league due to the postponement of the Cowden- Stenhousemuir game and the Stirling Albion-Dumbarton match on Saturday.

But Cowden will head north in the knowledge that they have won twice against the Blue Toon already this season.

They won an Alba Cup-tie 2-1 in Aberdeenshire on the first day of the season then beat Peterhead 5-0 at Central Park in the league in October.

These results should have the Blue Brazil confidence sky high but Cowden boss Danny Lennon will be keeping the Fifers' feet on the ground.

He said, "We have done well against Peterhead this season but this will be a wholly different situation.

"Their results have greatly improved since we had that good win over them and we will have to be at our best to win the match.

"Having last weekend off helped some of our injury problems but it is better playing matches rather than having a game in hand."

And Cowden will catch-up their game in hand on Tuesday when Stenhousemuir come to Central Park with a 7.45pm start.

Cowden should have a full staff to pick from for Saturday apart from the three long term casualties John Dempster, Darren McGregor and Danny MacKay.
