History of the Dumbarton v Stenhousemuir fixture

Dumbarton prepare to entertain Stenhousemuir at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sons are clearly on top, having won 36 and lost only 14 of the 60 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Strathclyde Homes Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division Three match.
