Dundee 4 Ayr United 1, Dens Park, Division One, 27/March/12

Dundee got back on track after poor performances in the last two game. Teamwise Kyle Benedictus and Leighton McIntosh came into the side with McGregor and Finnigan out injured. Youngster Jamie Reid was on the bench and no sign of Fotheringham rumour say that he out injured.

Dundee got off to good start and looked eager to attack and it did pay off after 20 minutes when a good move and O'Donnell pass put Jamie McCluskey clear on goal and the winger finished with a low drive. Dundee kept their high tempo football going and McIntosh should have scored shooting over the bar from 10 yards out.

Jake Hyde After Scoring

Second half and Ayr to their credit kept playing football and having a go. It took some good defending to keep them out with the help of the woodwork. Then after a short looking passback forced keeper Rab Douglas to clear and the ball fell nicely to Savo Milne who took a great touch and finished well to put Dundee 2 nil up. Ayr still came back and Douglas made two great saves to keep them out, but soon after Roberts scored with a good shot.

Then with the Honest men looking to earn a draw Dundee broke twice to seal the game first a quick breakaway and Jake Hyde scored with a grat finish high into the net. Then it was 4-1 when McCluskey broke some great skill and pass which setup Ryan Conroy scored to stun Ayr United.

The players all done well tonight and the win was well earned, Ayr played well tonight and  could have won the game.

Dundee: Douglas, Irvine, Lockwood, McKeown, Benedictis, McCluskey, McBride, O'Donnell, Conroy, Milne (Bayne 88), Mcintosh (Hyde 88). Subs Not Used: Gibson, Chisholm, Reid.
