DUMBARTON’S scheduled league season has ended with a morale-boosting 2-1 win at home to Clyde.
Dumbarton opened the scoring after 11 minutes when Kristoffer Syvertsen controlled a pass from Sam Muir, spun away from a defender and slotted home.
But right on half time, slack defending by Sons allowed Lewis Jamieson the chance to equalise from a narrow angle.
After an uninspiring second half, Sons’ second goal was scored with eight minutes remaining through Gregg Wylde, pictured right, after Josh Oyinsan and then Syvertsen played him in.
However, Oyinsan was then the victim of a wild tackle by Kevin Nicoll, a challenge which saw the ex-Sons man sent off.
All roads now lead to Ainslie Park for Tuesday night’s playoff semi-final first leg against Edinburgh City away from home.
City have confirmed admission arrangements for the away leg of the playoff semi-final on Tuesday, May 3. All supporters will gain access to the game for £10 and tickets can be purchased here.
The game will kick off at 7.45pm, and City will visit Dumbarton Football Stadium for the second leg four days later. Admission arrangements for that game were published yesterday – see here for details.
The Sons’ website says admission to the home leg of the play-off semi-final with Edinburgh City will cost only £10 for all supporters aged 16 and over, with under-16s going free.
As with all home matches outwith the scheduled 18 home league games, season tickets will not be valid for this fixture.
Oyinsan was the victim of a wild tackle by Kevin Nicoll, which saw him red carded.
