Dumbarton prepare to entertain Elgin City at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 6 of the previous 8 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Strathclyde Homes Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
