Match Report

TTA report

Two debutants and Dundee made all the running before Kerr deflected a shot past Ledgerwood (2). They scored again (9). A lovely left foot shot from outside the box by Smith reduced the deficit (12) then Dundee's No 5 lobbed his own keeper when harassed by Smith (24). It looked like ending 2-2 until Dundee scored (89).
