Match Report

TTA report

6th v 4th proved to be a bit of a “nothing at stake“ bore early on. Gradually things perked up and Donlevy saw his shot cleared off the line then Kerr prodded the ball home in a scramble (39). Both teams hit the bar before Airdrie levelled (72) but Harvey got what proved to be the winner 7 minutes later.
