Match Report

TTA report

Kinnell scored (35) after brilliant work by Wright but a pen made it 1-1 (37). The second half was a highly charged. Morton had 2 goals disallowed. A stone was thrown and the Morton chairman went on to the pitch to appeal for calm as police moved into the crowd. Their winner (62) was deserved on their second half display.
