Cowie lost ground on the leaders today losing a tight game against Woodside.
Cowie made a great start, taking the lead after 4 minutes when good football resulted in TJ squaring the ball to CRAN who took a couple of touches before finishing past the keeper.
Unfortunately they couldn't hold onto the lead for long as a couple of minutes later Woodside were level when a shot was parried by Stu and the Woodside striker scored the rebound from angle.
The game was going end to end with little quality and clear cut chances until Woodside got a 2nd when following a corner, the ball looked like it was cleared by Duke but the ref ruled it had gone over the line, in fairness to the ref he was perfectly placed to award it unlike other refs.
The 2nd half was more of the same as Cowie had most of the possession but Woodside were solid in defence in midfield and limiting the chances, and they got a 3rd in the 75th minute when a long ball allowed the striker to run clear and he finished into the corner despite the attentions of the defenders.
Cowie got a lifeline in the 81st minute when McDonald was fouled and SALMOND stepped up to send the keeper the wrong way.
Cowie pressed for an equaliser but Woodside held firm to take the 3 points.
