Match Report

TTA report

The winning margin flattered the visitors but they were the better team because they adapted to the muckheap of a pitch the better. Trailing to 2 goals (2 and 37), a 3rd (58) put the game well out of reach. An OG from a pass-back under pressure by Picken made it 3-1 but Saints scored again (85).
