Match Report

TTA report

Some friendly! Several players were spoken to and there was a free-for-all near the end. A faulty McGowan clearance led to Ayr's opener (7) but Sharp scored with a pen (foul, 28). The second half was all Ayr and ex-JAG Wallace scored a fine goal (73) but Brown's shot squirmed under the keeper (78) for the draw.
