The Ruts bowed out of the League Shield in disastrous fashion, as the wheels well and truly fell off of their mini-revival bus. A gifted goal in the first minutes set the the tone and despite the fact that the Ruts dominated most of the first period they were left to rue a disallowed Fraser header and some inspired keeping from the AC No 1 to stop them from levelling – despite the pressure the hosts dealt a sucker blow by doubling their tally close to the interval.

The second period saw AC gifted an early third and despite them being reduced to 10 men midway through the period, the damage had been done and the Ruts poor season ended with a whimper.

Roll on 2014-15 as things can only get better!……….
