Match Report

TTA report

The season started with a lucky win because Queens were the better team. They dominated the match, scored (12) and should have been 3-up at half-time. Sharp's “delightful header“ (SP) (55) levelled things. Henderson was the hero then Queen's hit woodwork 3 times. Sharp's 2nd header (87) stole both points.
