Reserves Drop Point

Defensive blunders in the second half were responsible for the Aberdeen reserves dropping a point at Pittodrie last night. With 2-0 interval lead, the homesters seemed set for another home win, but in the end it was Motherwell who were dictating the play.
Spalding and McVean were first-half scorers for Aberdeen "A," and in the Motherwell revival which followed Irvine and Henderson were there take advantage of slackness in defence.
Best for Aberdeen "A" were Cooper, McKenzie, Merchant and Wallbanks. In the visiting side Hamilton, Bartholomew, Irvine and McGowan were outstanding.
