Aberdeen 4 - 0 Arbroath

HT Score: Aberdeen 2 - 0 Arbroath

Tayside Reserve League
Aberdeen scorers: Bell, Bell, Douglas, Douglas.

10/09/1979 | KO: 19:30

We had a good win against Arbroath in an Angus League game at Pittodrie. Dougie Bell scored two goals for us, with a young trialist from the south scoring our other two.
It is a pity that very few spectators turn out for these games, as some of the players we play, are our S signings and trialists. It gives the young lads a big thrill to play on the Pittodrie park, and as we usually include one or two players who have had first team experience, it adds a bit more interest for the spectators.
