Match Report

TTA report

A fine fight-back on a rock-hard sanded pitch with an inch of snow. Aberdeen went 2-up but an OG (21) reduced the lead. Freebairn had some fine saves but it was 3-1 (51) then Hogan cleared off the line. McParland netted but was off-side but goals by Kerr, Fleming and McParland turned the game. Aberdeen eased off at 3-1 and paid the price.
