Match Report

TTA report

Goals by Torbet (when he took a pass from Turner) and Turner himself (80, a fine solo run and shot) settled the match. The forwards were always lively, if a little wasteful, and Ayr seldom made any impression until their lively finish when their best chances came but by then the game had been won.
