Head-to-Head

Key Players

• Dumbarton have goalscorers in this league, particularly Leighton McIntosh who has notched 10 this season, but their defensive leaks are too severe for them to be a realistic threat to this rampant Kilby side.
• The 11 goals scored by Kilby in their current 5-game unbeaten run are testament to John Robertson’s red-hot form in front of goal.
• The team’s talisman is the ideal player to exploit the gaps in the Dumbarton defence when they come under pressure from Kilby’s high tempo and pressing game.
