Match ends, Cowdenbeath 1, Albion Rovers 0.
Cowdenbeath 1-0 Albion Rovers
- From the section Football
Cowdenbeath were forced to work hard before beating Rovers to earn their first victory of the season.
Greig Spence scored his first goal for the club inside two minutes, rifling home from six yards.
That early goal gave way to a cagey affair with neither side able to establish any fluency.
The home side's Sam Orritt tested Ross Stewart in the Albion goal, and Paul Willis forced Michael Andrews into a stop at the other end.
