Spot-kick agony for Blue Brazil battlers
Cowden's bid for the last remaining promotion
place to the Second Division ended
after another goalless encounter against Stenhousemuir at Ochilview on Saturday.
The first leg of the play-off final ended goalless at Central Park and it was the same story at Ochilview with the teams
still level after extra-time.
Stenhousemuir edged the penalty shoot-out 5-4 to earn the promotion place while all Cowden could do was accept a standing
ovation from their big travelling support in the 1530 crowd.
The Cowden boys beat the home fans hands down, outshouting them from start to finish before staying at the end to
salute their players.
Despite fielding John Gemmell, John Dempster and Paul McQuade, Cowden's positive attitude failed to produce any goals
and Cowden were left high and dry by losing the penalty shoot-out lottery.

A Question of Cowden
Club Historian David Allan’s new publication – ‘A Question of
Cowden’ is now available and details of outlets stocking it will be confirmed soon.
The 76-page booklet is priced at £3 and is a fascinating
compilation
of facts for any Cowden fan. It’s the Cowdenbeath FC equivalent of TV’s QI programme! The club
shop has an initial stock and copies can also be obtained from David at 41 Garvock Hill, Dunfermline, KY12 7UR.
Postage costs are 50p for mail orders.
David is also to produce another booklet containing interviews with most
of the surviving players from Cowden’s famous 1970 team. Only Billy Mullen of the surviving players has not yet
been interviewed – but David is still trying to set something up with him. Further details very soon.
