Match Report

TTA report

It was frantic stuff at both ends but goalless at half-time. Ewing went off injured just as Closs scored with a trundler off a post (48). Hibs were denied a pen twice and a bottle was thrown at the ref. The 10 men almost held out but Hibs scored from close in when Freebairn dropped the ball in injury time. Still 9th.
