“A rare refreshing game” (AN). Branscombe hit the bar (1) then Falkirk ran up the park and scored but Harris (N) made it 1-1. Soon it was 2-1 but Harris again then Branscombe made it 3-2 at half-time. Campbell saved a penalty but Falkirk scored twice. Unlucky on the day to be edged out by the winner (87).
