Last updated : 07 May 2009 By Covsupport News Service
Former Coventry City keeper Jonny Tuffey made some excellent saves but could not stop Scotland B winning 3-0 tonight against Northern Ireland B at Clyde FC.

Tuffey, who joined Partick Thistle after being released by the Sky Blues, has played for Northern Ireland's senior team and made good stops in the first half to deny Hammell, Naismith and Burke.

The heavens opened at the break but the referee decided that the game could continue.

Two minutes in and Andy Webster scored after Tuffey had initally saved his header.

In the 76th minute, Peterborough's George Boyd made it 2-0 with a twenty yard strike and with five minutes left, Boyd set up Leigh Griffiths for Scotland's third goal.
