Match Report

TTA report

An unchanged side - almost unheard of in wartime - took the lead (2) when Candlin took advantage of poor defending. 2nd bottom Rovers, who hadn't won for 10 weeks, equalised direct from a corner (49) and slack marking let them in 2 minutes from time for the winner and a merry Christmas.
