Highlights:- A good away support followed the team to Station Park for their last local derby of the season. Arbroath started well but it was Forfar who took the lead in 15 minutes following a gap appearing in the visiting defence. Arbroath fought hard to get back into the game and Mallan equalised in 31 minutes following some excellent play by John McGlashan. George Rowe was adjudged to have fouled as he and a home attacker raced for the ball and was red carded by the official. From the resultant free kick, Crawford was adjudged to have brought down Barry Sellars however Hinchcliffe pulled of a great save from the penalty kick to keep us level.
McAulay replaced Heenan at half time as Cusick took over at right back. The 10 men Arbroath team had the better of the second half but failed to score and had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
