Match Report

TTA report

Dunfermline scored against the run of play (7) but Ewing deservedly equalised (lobbed keeper, 20). Wilson made it 2-1 (37) when the ball rebounded off the keeper from Wright. Davidson hit the bar, MacKenzie went close twice but a pen (hand ball) made it 2-2 (79). Ewing scored (87) but so did Dunfermline (90).
