History of the Peterhead v Dumbarton fixture

Peterhead prepare to entertain Dumbarton at Balmoor Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Blue Toon are clearly on top, beating their opponents 5 times from 8 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Balmoor Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2010, the The Blue Toon carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Division Two match.
