Team wise Graham Bayne and Ryan Conroy came into the side for Ross Chisholm, out injured was Jamie McCluskey, with Gavin Rae having to settle for a place on the bench.
Both teams struggled to create any clear cut chances in the first 10 minutes or so, but Dundee started to put pressure on the County defence. On 24 minutes a great run from Nicky Riley and as he went pass a defenders he was fouled in the box to earn Dundee a penalty. Up stepped Matt Lockwood to sent the County keeper the wrong way to open the scoring for the home side. County came back and hit the bar, back up the other end good play from O'Donnell saw a Milne's effort cleared off the line. The staggies di level soon after good wing play from Quinn set up McMenamin who mishit shot ended up in the net from close range. That was it at half time score.
(Photo)Hope you enjoyed your Birthday Mike, I did not realize we were the same age.Second half and Dundee struggled badly to find any fluent football with mistakes all over the pitch. midway through the half saw Gavin Rae come on for Kyle Benedictus as Dundee tried to change their style, Gavin did have a few shots at goal but both were pretty well off target. Things got worse soon after as County grabbed the winner when Rocco Quinn fired home from just outside the box to give Rab Douglas no chance.
Dundee pushed forward but apart from a late chance for sub Leighton McIntosh that was it with County happy to take the three points.
Next week we face a bottom of the league clash at Somerset Park..I just hope we can get a moral win to give everyone a real boost.
