What a Difference Two Years Makes
Posted in Dumbarton FC, Football at 12:00 on 8 May 2014
Just two seasons ago Dumbarton finished third in Division 2 of the SFL. Arbroath ended five points and one place better off.
Despite that apparently greater pedigree it was Dumbarton that prevailed in the play-off semi-final between the two, consigning Arbroath to another season in Div 2, while the Sons climbed, via their play-off win, onwards and upwards to SFL Div 1 (now the SPFL Championship.)
That mere two years later Sons have ended the season fifth in Tier 2 while Arbroath finished bottom in the next league down and so the clubs will play two divisions apart next season.
Morton were runners-up in Tier 2 last season. This year (despite beating Sons twice!) they were more or less dreadful and finished a poor last.
Things can change so quickly in football.
