Match Report

TTA report

The game was dominated by poor finishing. In the howler of the match (season?) McKennan shot wide from 2 yards with just the keeper to beat. Thirds scored (33) and they were the smarter team until disrupted by injury in the second half. Williamson latched on to a McSpadyen pass (82) from 18 yards for a point.
