Dalbeattie Star came from behind to end their two month wait for a league win on Saturday.The 3-2 victory over Broomhill was their first since they beat Rangers Colts on November 13, although they have played just three Lowland League games in the intervening period.Boss Ritchie Maxwell, who has secured Stranraer attacker Ross Irving on loan for the rest of the season, said: “We had three defeats in a row and it’s only the second time this season that’s happened.“Winning is a habit but losing is also a habit and we didn’t want to get into a rut where we were struggling for points.“We’ve not played a lot of football in December and January for various reasons and we’ve not had a run of games so it was important we got points on the board.”The first half of Saturday’s encounter at Islecroft was goalless before things changed dramatically in the opening 15 minutes of the second period.Broomhill took the lead when Andy Monk forced the ball home but moments later Star were given a chance to draw level when Liam Park was fouled by Connor Smith.
Although Russell Currie’s initial spot-kick was saved by Stephen Barr, the forward headed in the rebound.An incredible goal-filled spell then continued when Currie put Star in front before Dylan Cairnie got the third five minutes from time, Josh Cooper’s late effort scant consolation for the visitors.Maxwell said: “When we first conceded, the big thing was the reaction of the players and whether they could get us back into the game as soon as possible.
