Feast of Goals
Motherwell "A" proved no match for a Dons' Reserve side superior in all departments of the game and the result was a "feast" of goals for the spectators.
There was a wonderful turnout to see the game. Doubtless many had come to watch the home debut of Ray Botha and also to cast a critical eye on Alec Young and Pat Buckley. All three came through with flying colours and are only lacking now in that all-important feature —"match practice." The Reserves are now well in front of the rest of the "field" in the league race. They should be very difficult to catch.
