Young Dons Waste Opportunities, Too

FAILURE to make the most of their opportunities in the first half, when, with wind advantage, they were on top, cost Aberdeen Reserves a point in their game with Kilmarnock A at Pittodrie.

The soft conditions underfoot favoured the man in possession, and Hume was outstanding among the home forwards with clever ball control and opening-up play. Miller, his partner on the right, had a number of scoring chances which he wasted through over-eagerness in the first half.
The visitors were a transformed team after the interval, when their half-backs established a grip which had been lacking previously, and their inside forwards responded well.
Colman, Mount Ellen Juniors, who was at inside-left for the homesters, did not get many chances to shine, and was handicapped in the second period as the result of a knock.
Miller put Aberden ahead in the opening minute, but Reid equalised six minutes later. It was well on in the second half before MacVean restored the Dons' lead. Even without the services of Campbell, who retired with an injury, Kilmarnock fought back strongly to secure a merited equaliser through McLeish.
