It was four going on eight tonight and we didn't score a bad goal. In the simplest of terms the midfield stepped up to the mark tonight, with goals, good play and some fantastic runnning.

Cowdenbeath played there part in the game, they needed a result tonight and tried to play attacking football and for the opening moments it was a pretty even match. After the initial panic was over Airdrie attempted to take control of the match, keeping the ball with an Airdrie player means your opposition can't score.

It's not nice sometimes but that's football and as long as the result goes your way you can accept it. Finally it was the Diamonds who made the break through, a low cross ball from the near side caught the Cowdenbeath defence flat footed and Andreoni with the slightest of touches scored the opener.

Holmes scored the second, Allan Russell knocked the ball down and his pass after what i'm sure was a deflection fell to Brian Prunty, Bryan split the Cowdenbeath central defence to find Holmes. With work to do Greame Holmes calmly took the ball around the keeper and slotted home, 2 - 0 Airdrie.

Goals three and four came from Prunty and Waddell. Brian Prunty in space at the back post slammed Airdrie's third in to the back of the net after a free kick, a goal he more than deserved for his efforts during the game.

But for me pick of the bunch was our fourth and final goal, a move started and finished by substitute Ricky Waddell.

It's not very often this season I could go on and on about a match but this is one we should be talking about. Kenny Watt had two disallowed goals after being waved offside, the second would have/ could have given Prunty his second of the match, but like all strikers Watt is hungry for goals. Noble entertained on the near side with step overs and flicks that only work when your confidence is high, any other time you look like an arse.

In the end 4 - 0 and the Diamonds go home happy.
