Dumfries headed to the Lagoon Centre in Paisley for the annual West District Indoor Cup. A strong squad of 8 men went in high hopes but were given a tricky tie v Rottenrow.

Dumfries came out of the traps flying, dominating the early possession and won a number of short corners but failed to convert. The chances kept coming and eventually Johnston found the net with a tap in at the back post. Dumfries continued to dominate the game, creating chances, winning short corners and preventing Rottenrow shots on Oakes goal. Dumfries doubled their lead when Rennie rolled back the years, driving past multiple Rottenrow defenders before finishing into the bottom corner. Rottenrow finally started to find opportunities and scored from a short corner. They then got back on level teams quickly before taking the lead at the break from another short corner.

HT. 2-3

The half time team talk was positive, keep working hard and start taking some more of the chances. Dumfries played the second half like the first, making multiple entries into the Rottenrow defence but were time and time again denied by an inspired keeper. 'Row the increased their advantage when a short corner hit Johnston's foot on the line and the flick was dispatched. More chances fell to Johnston, Aitken, Callander, Redman and McFarlane but were denied by the keeper until McFarlane managed to sneak one into the bottom corner with 4 minutes to go. Rottenrow quickly regained their 2 goal lead when a short corner found the goal. It was then Johnston's turn to be denied, after Callander won a penalty flick, Johnston's effort was saved by the keeper. The game finishes 5-3 with Rottenrow going through to the next round and Dumfries heading back down the road.

Lots of positives against a side who did well in the league but Dumfries' indoor season finishes after just 1 game.
