Match Report

TTA report

This was a tight match played in a freezing gale. Only 2 x 20 minutes was played (to save the spectators and players from pneumonia?). The only goal came from Fleming after a spell of sustained pressure at the start of the second half. Both sets of forwards were off form. “Inchview …resembled a first class bog” (SR).
