Match Report

TTA report

Buchanan scored (1) and an excellent game developed with chances at both ends (and some wayward shooting). In the second half 2 quick goals (the 2nd, Burns trying and missing to clear with his feet) made it 2-1. Cowlairs had a goal cancelled by off-side and Paul shot straight at the keeper. Defeat, but close.
