Dundee got their first win in the league with a fine win over St Mirren, a late strike from Peter MacDonald who had come on from the bench. It was a braw sunny day for football as was the weather in Glasgow for a pre match pint with some fellow Fife Dark Blues.
Simon Ferry missed the game due to injury Kevin McBride took his place both team had early chances as the game opened in a frantic pace. Dundee settled and played some nice football but it was St Mirren maybe should have lead at half time but their finishing was pretty wild.
Second half and game started much as the first half had ended Dundee had a good chance but McAlister headed over from a good Irvine cross. St Mirren remained dangerous on the break and Drury blasted over when really he should have scored. Paul Hartley made changes and Harkin and Tankulic made way for Boyle and MacDonald. It proved to be the right decision when McAlister found Konrad and his long ball found Peter MacDonald who's first touch put himself clear and he finished to the great delight of the Dark Blue fans behind the goal. The Buddies nearly scored soon after but Dundee were unlucky when good play from Wighton put Boyle into the box but the young striker put it just wide. Dundee held on to win the game and claim all three points.
It was a happy journey home and l had a few beers in The Bull in Paisley meeting up with some of the Capital Dark Blues good to see some well known faces.
