Match Report

TTA report

Only about 500 turned up due to the wet weather (GT). Neither team was at full strength with fringe and junior players getting a run-out. Port led at half-time but a goal by Gillespie in the second half ensured it ended in a draw. A decent game despite the conditions and a fair result.
