Dons end campaign with a thriller

Aberdeen's under 21s finished their season in style, fighting back from 4-2 down to edge the Steelmen in a nine goal thriller.

The home side took the lead in the 20th minute through Kenny WRIGHT before the Dons levelled with a Stephen TARDITI header following a Kevin Souter free kick. We then regained their advantage when Ryan RUSSELL beat Hutton with a close range shot.

It was all square again after 38 minutes when a David Donald cross was knocked on by Tarditi who found Michele LOMBARDI who converted with a deft back header.

In 57 minutes Adam WRIGHT put Well ahead for the third time and then with twenty minutes to go Adam COAKLEY took advantage of slack defending to make it 4-2.

However, the visitors refused to give up and TARDITI grabbed his second in 74 minutes with an excellent turn and shot from the edge of the box. It was 4-4 shortly afterwards when Chris MAGUIRE fired home the rebound after Tarditi had hit the crossbar. Amazingly with five minutes to go, 15-year-old MAGUIRE scored the winner with a great volley from the edge of the area.
