Match Report

TTA report

The forwards made little impression against quick-tackling defenders. Trailing from the 2nd min, a poor pass-back by McNab led to a well-placed shot (21). Ewing crashed home a Smith cross from 20 yards for the goal of the match (67) but a re-arranged forward line could find an equaliser. It got rough late on.
