History of the Elgin City v Cowdenbeath fixture

Elgin are ready to welcome Cowdenbeath to Borough Briggs on Saturday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the City have lost both.

The previous match played between the two at Borough Briggs was within the last three years, in March 2001, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
