Preview Cowdenbeath
Thursday, 25th Oct 2012One of the compensations for not staying in the SPL has to be all the local derbies.
Cowdenbeath are welcome visitors to East End Park on Saturday. One of the compensations for not staying in the SPL has to be all the local derbies. The Pars won the first meeting at Central Park in August by 4-0 but only last Saturday the Blue Brazil served up an entertaining 4-4 draw against Raith Rovers, so they are not an opposition to be underestimated.
