Dev League: Falkirk 0 United 0

Neither the Bairns nor the Tangerines could find the net at the Falkirk Stadium tonight, although the visitors came closest to breaking the deadlock. By Peter Rundo United - with two foreign trialists in their ranks - made the brighter start creating two early chances. On eight minutes, Aidan Connolly fired into the side-netting and a minute later the trialist centre forward was denied by home keeper Lewis McMinn. However, it was the hosts who almost took the lead after 11 minutes when Euan Spark’s back pass wrong footed his own keeper Ryan Booth who had to quickly back track and grab the ball before it crossed the line. The Bairns then pressed United back, but it was the Tannadice men who almost broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark when a Connolly shot was deflected into the path of the trialist centre whose header was cleared off the line by Alan Maybury. Clear-cut chances were few and far between in the second half, although Harry Souttar headed a cross from the trialist in midfield against the base of the post. And three minutes later Falkirk had their best chance of the game when Booth palmed away a low drive from David Smith at his near post. United did get the ball in the net after the two trialists linked up well, but it was ruled off side.
