Preview Cowdenbeath
Saturday, 27th Jul 2013Ramsden Cup: (away) Saturday 27th July 2013
Dunfermline were the visitors at Central Park on the opening match of the 2012-13 league season when Cowdenbeath unfurled the flag for winning the previous season`s Second Division championship. Twelve months on it is the Pars who have their sights on the Second Division championship and this Ramsden Cup tie is possibly the only competitive match that these local rivals will contest this season.
Last August`s 4-0 win for Jim Jefferies men equalled the Blue Brazil`s worst ever defeat at the hands of their near neighbours. That came courtesy of goals from Andy Barrowman, Josh Falkingham and a brace from Ryan Thomson.
There are no records of Ramsden Cup meetings between the clubs but there have been 12 cup ties in the League and Scottish Cups in which Cowdenbeath have won only once - in January 1929.

Dunfermline`s league record against Cowdenbeath reveals 33 wins and 27 defeats with 14 draws. Recent form had certainly favoured the East End Park side - but when Cowdenbeath won 4-2 at Central Park in February that ended a wait since August 1977 for a home win over the Pars and was their first over their nearest neighbours since May 1993.
