Following an uneventful and fairly even opening spell, Killie broke the deadlock from the penalty spot with eight minutes of the half remaining, Peter LEVEN making no mistake.
Worse was to follow, right on the
stroke of the interval when youngster Robert CAMPBELL netted from close range to double the Rugby Park side's advantage.
Six minutes after the restart, Steven Craig then
scorned a great opportunity to bring the young Dons right back into it when he blasted a spot kick wide of the upright. In an overall disappointing performance from Aberdeen, their best effort was a Brian Neill shot in 84 minutes when he latched on to an Andy
Bagshaw through ball.
