Match Report

TTA report

A whirlwind start had pointless Rovers on the back foot. Crowe stabbed in a MacKenzie shot (10) then McParland scored from a Sharp pass (35) then for 3-0 (36). The second half was almost one-way traffic but it took until the last minute for a Sharp header from a MacKenzie cross to round off a convincing win.
