Match Report

TTA report

Both sets of forwards were well below their best and Candlin was the worst culprit. Shots that did hit the target found both keepers in fine form. The only goal came (78) when a shot was deflected past the helpless Henderson by McGowan to give Morton the points they scarcely deserved.
