Match Report

TTA report

“Two unexciting but hardworking sides” (ET). A goal by O'Hara (75) when he was set up by Clark separated the sides evenly who were matched, even in squandered chances. Kilmarnock should have taken the lead just after half-time but the ball was fired straight at Rough. A draw would have been fairer however.
