Templeman scores screamer in 3-1 win

Chris Templeman marked his return to the 1st team with a brace as Morton won 3-1 again! Dumbarton rarely threatend as Tam Brighton netted the opener from the left hand side of the box curling it past the helpless Keeper. Templeman then came in to his own as he netted a low drive just after 15mins of play and then from the kick off Morton won possesion and punted it forward Templeman controlled then thumped a stunning volley into the top corner from 35 yards which lit up the crowd. Steven Hislop must surely have tried the managers patience to the limits now, he continued to miss chances and what looked like a good signing has turned into a disapointment.
