Match Report

TTA report

Niven was in fine form early on as Dunfermline had the better of things but goals from Whitelaw (both from close in, 28 and 37) turned things round. Smith hit the bar and the keeper had some excellent saves. Dunfermline deservedly scored (64) before Duffy missed an open goal from a few yards.
