Match Report

TTA report

There were fouls and blunders all over the pitch and the game was enlivened only by the jousts between Davidson and Kitchenbrand. It was heading for a draw and it was so poor it came as a surprise when Kerr was unfortunate his loose pass led to a cross and a headed goal for the league leaders (84). Unlucky.
