Dundee 2 - 1 Aberdeen

YOUNG DONS' VAIN DUNDEE TRIP
SCOTT (W.) MISSES NEAR END

Aberdeen A received their second Scottish Alliance League defeat of the season when they fell to the Dundee reserves at Dens Park on Saturday. The Young Dons met similar fate when they last visited Dundee, losing by the odd goal in three.
The Aberdeen reserves were somewhat unlucky. They played the better football, but over-anxiety near goal spoiled more than one good scoring chance.
The game was only four minutes old when Gray opened the scoring for Dundee "A." He finished off a splendid solo run by sending in a fine shot which beat Kelly, in the Young Dons' goal.
Ten minutes later the home team went further ahead. McLean scored a grand goal. Gathering the ball in midfield, he carried it up, and as he was tackled just outside the penalty area released a terrific shot which gave Kelly no chance.

SCOTT SCORES

Aberdeen "A" reduced the deficit in the twenty-fifth minute. A down-the-middle slip by Mackie found the defence out position, and W. Scott had little difficulty in finding the net.
The Young Dons, who had played the better brand of football, immediately attacked after the interval and for a time Lynch was kept busy. Kelly was next in action when he dropped a simple shot. Holland advanced on him, but after a struggle the 'keeper succeeded in clearing.
Near the end W. Scott completely miskicked in his eagerness to score. It was but one of the instances of how overanxiety had proved the Young Dons' undoing.
