Match Report

TTA report

The “black, forbidding pitch dotted with little pools of water“ (GH) passed a late inspection but it was a farcical surface. Rovers hit the woodwork twice and there were spills, thrills and fine saves aplenty. The winner came when a Devine corner surprised the unsighted keeper and he pushed the ball into the net (16).
