Match Report

TTA report

A hard cup-tie with few chances, robust tackles and numerous fouls. Rough was the busier keeper but he was seldom seriously threatened. Bad luck and poor finishing eventually cost Dumbarton a draw. A back header at the near post from a short corner (it should have been a goal-kick) set up Anderson to head in (85). Slightly fortunate.
