Dundee 3 Montrose 0, Dens Park, Cis Cup 1st Round, 31/July/10

Dundee won 3-0 this afternoon in the Cis Cup at Dens Park, the dark blues were given a big boost when Rhys Weston signed a one year deal, and went straight into the team at centre half. Jamie Adams made his debut for the club in midfield.
 
I missed the game due to work, so can only go by reports and l will see the goals later on DFC TV. Dundee scored the first goal on 33 mins when a good pass from McKeown put Nicky Riley through and he finished with a cool chip from a tight angle. That was the half time score.
 
Into the second half and l send a text to my mate Dougie, to see if it was still 1-0. His reply made me smile it read " 3-0 Dees, on the rampage now" So that was Dundee safely into the next round. The other two goals came from the penalty spot after Jamie Adams was fouled in the box, up stepped Leigh Griffiths (70mins) to side foot home. Then Griffiths laid one on for MoM Nicky Riley (76mins) who smashed the ball into the top corner for a fine finish.
 
Dundee:Douglas, Irvine, McKeown (McHale 75), Weston, Forsyth, Riley, O'Donnell, (Paton 71), Adams, Harkins, McMenamin (Higgins 66), Griffiths. Subs not used: Fox, Kerr.
