Custom byline text:
The delay was due to an injury suffered by referee Kevin Clancy after Cowdenbeath player-manager Colin Cameron ran into him in the early part of the game.
An appeal was made to the crowd for a qualified official to assist. With the game under threat of being abandoned, a replacement official eventually came in to run the line, with assistant referee Douglas Ross taking over in the middle. In an incident-packed encounter, Dunfermline led 1-0 at the break, Joe Cardle reacting first after Thomas Flynn had blocked a Josh Falkingham shot.
