early and late show
Aberdeen's Under 18's beat Livingston 2-0 at the Chris Anderson Stadium this afternoon to give themselves a boost ahead of next week's SFA Youth Cup semi final against Hibernian.
The Pittodrie babes made the perfect start to the game taking the lead with less than four minutes on the clock. Striker John Stewart did well to find space on the right and his cross fell just right for Calum McKenzie to fire home from 15 yards.
A tricky surface coupled with a bitter wind did not help the sides serve up an attractive encounter and goalmouth incidents were sparse although David Hutton did well to deny Carlo Santi an equaliser.
The Dons wrapped up a merited victory with six minutes left when Stephen Tarditi reacted quickly to rifle a Kevin Souter pass into the roof of the net.
