Match Report

TTA report

On the skating rink surface, Stenhousemuir (who surrendered home advantage) defended stoutly and gave Jackson some anxious moments. Kinloch scored (55) looking suspiciously off-side then again (58). Torbet got the 3rd near the end to settle the tie but it was poor and unconvincing.
