Dunipace's tough start continues as Camelon Juniors keep on winning
Dunipace are still on the hunt for their maiden Scottish Lowland Football League East points after another home defeat.
Danny Smith’s side opened their season last Wednesday with a 2-1 loss at DCL Westfield to Lochee United. And on Saturday, the ‘Pace suffered another defeat to a fellow promoted club with Musselburgh Athletic winning 3-1.
That’s now two times that Smith’s side have taken the lead only to go on and lose.
And the frustrated gaffer admitted: “That’s the first time I can remember us having two defeats in a row with us going on to our sixth season at the club, it is disappointing.
"All the players are gutted. Today and Wednesday, we managed to get ahead in the game and that is a great, positive thing. But we arguably almost conceding possession after going a goal ahead.
"The other teams are dominating with the ball in the second half and we are doing things like making tired clearances. We look like we are maybe hanging on. It’s time for calm heads.”
Dunipace now travel to Hill of Beath Hawthorn this Saturday. On Wednesday, the ‘Pace hosted Whitehill Welfare in round two of the East of Scotland Qualifying Cup while this newspaper went to press.
In the East of Scotland Premier Division, Camelon Juniors beat Preston Athletic 2-0 away from home to stay top of the table after three matches played.
Tam Scobbie’s side have won all three games having only conceded once. Saturday sees the Mariners host Newtongrange Star.
