Match Report

TTA report

A good opening spell saw Ewing score but he was adjudged off-side. Bottom club Albion took the lead with a shot from 18 yards (23) but 2 goals by Smith (27 and 29) and a Gibb OG (33) levelled things before Harvey scored (42). It was end to end stuff and Davidson scored with a soft pen (hand ball, 69).
