Match Report

TTA report

Tierney headed in a Buckley free-kick (7). McGlashan hit the bar then Law's effort was cleared off the line soon after. A clearance from half-way found 3 forwards off-side but no flag came and Elliot rounded the keeper to slot home (55). Brechin's consolation (87) wasn't enough and defeat meant relegation.
