notes

Technically, Dundee's second may have been an og, but we can't be sure how it panned out. SM credits Ledgerwood og for the 2nd goal, not Stables, but doesn't describe the goal. SP credits Stables as described in our Potted Report. DR insists it was a fine save and that the ball was never over the line. SC credits Stables but no report. We stick with Stables for the sake of the peace and an easier life!

Match Report

TTA report

Dundee (averaging just one goal per game and no goals in 4) ran riot, taking the lead in (2) then when Ledgerwood parried a shot against the bar and caught it, the ref judged the ball to have gone in (5). 2 more goals (rebounds off the woodwork) then a run and shot (37) made it 5-0. A late 6th completed the misery.
