Match Report

TTA report

Brough (back after 4 games but clearly still not fit) parried a header but the rebound was nodded in (16) then Herd equalised following a corner (18). A header from a corner put Alloa ahead (57) but sub McDonald equalised from a Watson cross (83) to avoid a humiliating defeat by the team at the bottom of the table. Promotion hope still alive (just).
