SEASON REVIEW - So Far...

Let's have a look at every single game so far this season... in 3 lines each

DUNFERMLINE - VIRTUSESTRI 3-8 (Bovalino, Buccianti, Frassinelli)
Bovalino opens the scoring but Dunfermline get slaughtered and kicked out of Liguria cup, although massive clearout of players begin, with a handful dismissed by the club for improper conduct

DUNFERMLINE - COMPAGNIA DELLE INDIE 3-3 [0-4] (Buccianti, Cantelli, Marletta)
Marletta equalises at the death, after goals from Buccianti and Cantelli had twice handed The Pars the lead, only to be reached and then leapfrogged. However, an off the pitch defeat is irrogated to Dunfermline following the unlawful fielding of defender Urru.

LAS CUEVAS - DUNFERMLINE 4-3 (Buccianti, Bovalino, Marletta)
Dunfermline play well but Di Noto's dismissal proves costly as The Pars find themselves with no points, and their sponsorship deal cancelled off, after two games in the league.

NEW REDS - DUNFERMLINE 2-5 (Buccianti, Cantelli 3, Borreani)
Frassinelli's forced to play in goal owing to the absence of any recognised keeper, but Dunfermline obtain the first of a string of 13 wins, courtesy of a hat-trick by Cantelli and goals from Buccianti and Borreani.

ASTON VILLA SCASSI - DUNFERMLINE 2-9 (Buccianti 4, Cantelli 2, Bovalino 2, Frassinelli)
Dunfermline thump Villa with ease to collect their 2nd win on the trot against not-so-irresistible opposition.

DUNFERMLINE - NEVER ALONE 5-3 (Cantelli 3, Buccianti 2)
Cantelli and Buccianti concoct a 5-3 win in a derby rival against Never Alone, a 3rd successive win and an initial grasp of the positives the season is going to reserve for the lads.

INTERNAZIONALE - DUNFERMLINE 1-5 (Cantelli, Di Noto, Bovalino, Buccianti 2)
A 4th win in a row leaves Dunfermline a few points shy of first place, while Buccianti caps a marvellous scoring moment with another brace.

DUNFERMLINE - XENEIXES 9-1 (Cantelli 2, Buccianti 2, Marletta, Di Noto 3, Frassinelli)
Yet another thrashing as The Pars ease past Xeneixes to collect their second early whistle victory to attain their 5th win on the bounce.

AMICI DI BERTO - DUNFERMLINE 1-4 (Cantelli, Marletta 2, Buccianti)
The long lasting duel at the top sees the first round fall Dunfermline's way, as Marletta grasps a his first set piece goal of the season, after Cantelli had opened the scoring, only for Steiner to equalise. Further goals from Buccianti and again from the captain seal a famous win.

DUNFERMLINE - SAMPIERDARENA 2-2 [4-0] (Buccianti, Marletta)
Dunfermline draw on the pitch but win off it courtesy of the unlawful fielding of goalkeeper Bruzzone. A tight game had been solved mainly by means of set pieces.

LE CAFE - DUNFERMLINE 5-6 (Cantelli, Marletta 4, Frassinelli)
Marletta produces a marvel of a goal, on top of another 3, 2 of which from the penalty spot, to add to Cantelli and Frassinelli and help Dunfermline en route to the top-two. A glorious display capped by moments of individual and collective brilliance.

DUNFERMLINE - BORUSSIA 4-2 (Cantelli, Marletta 2, Bovalino)
Cantelli and Bovalino do it the stylish way, Marletta the essential one, and Borussia are beaten by 4 goals to 2, for a 9th successive win in the league.

COMPAGNIA DELLE INDIE - DUNFERMLINE 3-6 (Cantelli 2, Marletta, Di Noto, Buccianti, Bovalino)
Cantelli scores twice in the opening minutes and Dunfermline remain in the driving seat all game long, this time no off the pitch breaches can deprive Dunfermline of their 10th win in a row.

DUNFERMLINE - LAS CUEVAS 4-1 (Buccianti 2, Marletta, Cantelli)
Buccianti back to his best as Las Cuevas are defeated in a match which sees Perugini making his debut in goal.

DUNFERMLINE - NEW REDS 4-2 (Buccianti, Marletta 3)
Dunfermline complete the first of a series of doubles, as a hat-trick from Marletta and an opener from Buccianti do the trick.

DUNFERMLINE - ASTON VILLA SCASSI 9-1 (Di Noto, Cantelli 3, Marletta 3, Bovalino 2)
Dunfermline continue on their brilliant run of form by easily disposing of minnows Aston Villa, by 9 goals to 1.

NEVER ALONE - DUNFERMLINE 3-3 (Cantelli 2, Bovalino)
Back from a thoroughly enjoyable trip to Scotland, the lads somewhat falter on the pitch, as they take a few too many risks and fail to impress, having their 13 game winning streak abrupted.

DUNFERMLINE - INTERNAZIONALE 9-3 (Di Noto 3, Marletta 2, Cantelli, Own Goal, Filippi, Buccianti)
Filippi scores his first for the club to early terminate an easy game, setting the Pars back to winning ways.

XENEIXES - DUNFERMLINE 4-5 (Cantelli 5)
Cantelli takes it all on his shoulder and single-handedly produces an unbelievable comeback from 2 goals down with only minutes to go. Pure class.

DUNFERMLINE - AMICI DI BERTO 2-6 (Buccianti, Bovalino)
Dunfermline experience their worst of the season, as they're annihilated by Amici di Berto at their home ground, contextually losing the group leadership.

SAMPIERDARENA - DUNFERMLINE 1-2 (Marletta, Cantelli)
Marletta fails from the spot, only to be given a second chance as Buccianti plays a wonderful ball to help him score. Cantelli seals it at the death and Dunfermline make certain of their top-two status, contextually regaining the summit of the table.

DUNFERMLINE - LE CAFE 5-4 (Cantelli 4, Buccianti)
Cantelli produces yet another incredible performance to fire the lads up closer to the title, whilst Buccianti plays his part duly.

BORUSSIA - DUNFERMLINE 3-4 (Cantelli 3, Marletta)
Cantelli ends the regular season on yet another high, while Clegg shows signs of improvement towards a return to his best form, scoring from a customary free-kick.

DUNFERMLINE - MORO POPULARS 4-1 (Di Noto, Marletta, Cantelli 2)
Di Noto gets on the pitch and scores, before Marletta finds yet another moment of brilliance from a set piece. Cantelli scores a brace, business as usual.

DUNFERMLINE - HELLAS BEGATO 1-3 (Marletta)
The Pars waste a number of chances while Hellas net three from four goal attempts altogether. Football, that is...

MASSACRONI - DUNFERMLINE 2-2 (Marletta, Buccianti)
Free-kicks, free-kicks, free-kicks. Marletta scores one and makes another, on a night when Semino produces a stunning performance (in his capacity of defender, to the surprise of many) and Dunfermline gain promotion...

IS THE BEST PART OF THIS STORY YET TO BE WRITTEN?
WE SHALL SEE...
