Match Report

TTA report

A good match saw chances at both ends then Kilmarnock went 2-up (30). Jackson dropped the ball after being “charged“ for the 1st. Defensive weakness let Hair in twice (38 and 44). Play was open and even after that and when the keeper unwisely came for a cross, Salisbury beat him to it (80).
