Aberdeen 1 - 1 Motherwell

Scottish Reserve League Cup Group 1
Aberdeen scorers: Hogg (Pen).

17/08/1957 | KO: 15:00

Old Hands

The Young Dons dropped a point last Saturday but could hardly be faulted. They fought like demons throughout but just failed to win. Their partial failure was due to two factors - firstly, the loss of a player early in the game, and secondly, their lack of experience, especially against two old hands like Shaw and Paton. Still our youngsterswill have learned another lesson - "old stagers" are still strong physically. Give then a wide berth whenever you can, keep them running to get the ball and "ano domini" will do the rest.
