anyone know how this ended? Ghostie was suggesting on FB that he was going...

Lost 2-1 to a slick Dons side under Sherino's watchful eye.

Started shakily in defence and McKenzie's weak parry was not cleared by a static defence. allowing Aberdeen to open the scoring

Second half penalty awarded as Dons forward raced clear into the box only to be brought down from behind. Outcome 2-0.

Saints rallied late in the game and were rewarded when a sweeping move up the left flank and cross to the right flank found sub Docherty who looked like he was in a position to shoot, but squared the ball to the back post, where Hurst had only to steer the ball between the sticks.

Mc Laren on the left was subbed at halftime. Appeared to have breathing problems as his inhaler was brought to the touchline.

Thomson on the right was a revelation with his pace and trickery, causing his marker no end of trouble, before teasing the other full back when switched to the left in the second half to accommodate Docherty.

Saints downfall was their passing and decision making was poor, allowing the opposition possession, though to be fair Dons closed them down quickly.

Despite that, Saint's could have equalised, however the Dons keeper dealt competently with what came his way.

Brought forward to tomorrow Monday 3rd April with a 6pm k.o. at McDiarmid Saints vs Dundee United.

C.o.y.s.

After United missed a sitter from a yard out they quickly opened the scoring.

Saints recovered from a shakey start and equalised.  Shortly after adding a second. Before halftime they increared their lead through a Hurst penalty.

H/T 3-1.

Keep up Hoodlum 3 - 2!!

Crikey give me time to get to the pub.

A thumping shot by Arabs no.4 in the second half, who was allowed to advance thru' the middle unchallenged left the keeper with no chance.

A highly entertaining game with Saints midgets against United's  giants ended 3-2.

 Saints were denied a second penalty when the ball struck a defender's arm ( not for the first time ), from the resulting let off, United broke forward to score their second.

(Ghostie was heard to exclaim, how many keeper's have they on the park):wink:

On a quick check the United giants were Lewis Toshney 6'2", Coll Donaldson 6'2", G. W. Kuate 6'1", Jordan Garden 6'1", & Brad Smith 6'0".

The Saints bench had six players from the under 17 team plus one who is 17.

(3 came on as subs)

Jack Wilson from the u17's started alongside Jason Kerr (my M.O.M.) at the heart of the defence.

3 others in the starting line-up are aged 17. Lumsden (tiny right back). Midfielder Alistair Mc Cann, who was fielded at left back and Jamie Docherty a small forward with a big shot.

Saints 'keeper saved a penalty, then we went up the park for 2-1, now 2-2

Thanks Dave. Found the 2-2 result on the Spfl website.

Now caught up with Dundee at the bottom of the table on points, tho' goal difference is 2 goals worse off.

A creditable result against a team flying high at the top end of the league.
