COWDENBEATH'S performances in the home games with Stirling Albion and Edinburgh City could not have been further apart in terms of quality.

Against Stirling the team defended very poorly and lost 4-1.

Man of the Match was defender Fraser Mullen, who played steadily in that one and was presented with the award by match sponsor Zoe Smith.

Against Edinburgh City Cowden performed so much better and came close to beating second top of Ladbrokes League 2 Edinburgh City.

The game ended 1-1, but that was only through some incredible goalkeeping from the City last line and a late wind assisted equaliser.

Jamie Todd received the Man of the Match award from match sponsors, Adams, Whyte Criminal Defence Lawyers, for a steady show at the back.
