Stenhousemuir 1-1 Dumbarton

The Third Division's two leading sides had to settle for a point in a match where both sides saw a man sent off.

Stenny were first to be reduced to ten men when Kevin Motion saw red for a foul and Sons' Gary Wilson was also dismissed only ten minutes later.

The home side went close twice in the first half before an Andrew Brand strike handed them the lead.

Dumbarton pressed for a leveller, and a deflected Stevie Murray shot earned the visitors a share of the spoils.
