Match Report
Source unknown.
Super sub Steven Hislop scored a double for his new club as Cowdenbeath crashed out of the Challenge Cup.
But it took Ross County until extra-time before they disposed of their Division Two opponents.
The Dingwall side had suffered a surprise defeat at home to Arbroath on Saturday.
And they again found it difficult against a side that themselves had suffered an opening-day defeat.
Both sides fired blanks in normal time, but it took former East Stirlingshire man Hislop's introduction as a substitute to settle the tie.
He replaced striker Mark McCormick late in the game.
And, six minutes into extra time, his low right-foot shot edged his side ahead.
A minute into the second period of extra time, Hislop pounced on a defensive mistake to add the vital second goal.
