Match Report

TTA report

The "past" players had height and weight on their side but, although smaller, the "present" had agility, although the current crop were fortunate to be leading at the break. The present raced into a 3-0 & 4-1 lead in a better second half, but the past fought back with another couple of goals, more fairly reflecting a well contested match.
