Match Report

TTA report

“High individual skill, delightful teamwork, cracking goals“ (SP). McCallum opened (10) but 2 minutes later it was 1-1. O'Donnell (15), Wright (35 and pen 58) and Kinnell (63) made it 5 before Dundee scored but McCallum made it 6 (88). A flattering scoreline. Unlucky Dundee played well and hit the post. McGowan went off injured twice but came back on.
