Match Report

TTA report

The score was tough on Rovers who played some decent stuff and hit the bar twice. It was hard and fast but certainly not cultured football. Newall opened his account (header, 23) then from a cross from the right (56) and got his 3rd (58). The rest of the game was “humdrum” (CE) apart from Hammill's free-kick (89).
