The onslaught began from the start of the match; with in minutes Garry Twigg had a shot knocked on to the cross bar, it was a good save from Dundee goalkeeper Murray. Our first goal came from Willie McLaren, Kevin Barkey played a pass that at first look seemed to miss the target Brian McPhee, but as the ball trundled forward Will McLaren was on hand to pick up the ball and slot home from the edge of the penalty area. Goal number two came from some one touch football on the left hand side of the park McLaren, Lovering and Holmes combined to open up the Dundee defence. As Lovering made his final run in to the box, he was brought down. Where was Stephen McKeown when we needed a penalty taker? Anyway, up steps Gary Twigg who slotted home goal number two from the spot.
Goal number three came a minute later as the ball bounced in to the path of Brian McPhee he launched a sweet shot that flew over the head of Murray and nestled perfectly in the back of the net. Three - nil in four devastating minutes of play.
The game was over as a contest before it began and Airdrie were on top by a big big margin.

Unfortunately, for Dundee it was not over as Airdrie pushed on for more, our fourth was a header from Gary Twigg that flew in to the back of the net and finally for the first half any way Willie McLaren hit a powerful shot high in to the net. Five - nil at half time and Airdrie are coasting.
