Match Report

TTA report

Bottom v 2nd bottom was fast and furious but not skilful. Gardiner scored (10) then Port hit the woodwork twice. He scored again early in the second half but Port pulled one back 15 minutes from time. An OG and a fine shot by Smith made it 4-1 before Howden let a shot through his legs a minute later.
