Match Report

TTA report

A howler by Freebairn when he made no attempt to save a shot he thought was going wide gave Kilmarnock the lead (5) but Kerr hooked the ball in while lying on the ground (7) then he headed in a Smith cross (9). Kilmarnock skied a pen (foul by Freebairn, 21). The second half was an even, goalless anti-climax.
