Scottish League 'C' Division

Brechin Kept We Dons On toes

THE young Dons were lucky to escape with a point in their "C" Division match against Brechin City at Glebe Park, where they were held to a goalless draw.
Brechin were awarded a penalty after McKenna had pulled down Watson, but from the kick Skinner shot over the bar.
Aberdeen "A" were well on top during the first half and though they often had the Brechin defenders in trouble they could not score.
The reverse was the case after the interval, when Brechin were on top but could not make the best of their chances.
Aberdeen's best players were Watson, Young and McNeill.
