Queen of the South 3 - 3 Aberdeen

Young Dons Draw After Being Two Goals Up.

It was a game of fluctuating fortunes at Dumfries where Aberdeen divided the Alliance League points with the Queen of the South reserves.

The Young Dons started off briskly and within ten minutes were two goals up, J. Westland and Johnston being the marksmen. The homesters retaliated and Renfrew, the former Cowdenbeath centre-forward, opened their account. Tulip showed up well on the left for the Dumfries side.
Aberdeen " A again took up the pressure, and Conwell was conspicuous with some clever moves, but they could not increase their total.
Before half-time the homesters went ahead. Tulip got both goals, the first from a penalty and the second from a free-kick on the edge of the penalty area.
The Young Dons resumed in vigorous style and were not long in arrears, Conwell finding the net. There were some hefty exchanges after this and Devers was hurt and had to retire.
End-to-end play followed and both goals had narrow escapes. Moore was a dangerous leader for the Dons but his finishing was not on a par with his distribution, and many chances were missed.
For the home team. Smith, J. Anderson, Nesbitt and Tulip were all seen to advantage, while D. Westland, Gavin, Conwell and Moore were Aberdeen's best.
