Match Report
Goalkeeping blunders by reserve 'keeper Danks cost Cowdenbeath both points, but the young custodian partly redeemed himself in the second half when he saved a twice-taken penalty.
He saved the first spot-kick taken by Fallon, but was adjudged to have moved, and it was retaken. This time he punched clear Fallon's second attempt.
Both goals were scored in the first half-McGovern netted with a speculative 20-yard drive, and Hughes added No. 2 during a goalmouth scrimmage after Danks had dropped the ball.
