Match Report

TTA report

Uninspiring . Both teams put lots of effort into their play but showed little skill in front of goal. Only McBride seemed capable of taking a shot at goal but it was Smith who scored from a McParland pass to break the deadlock (67). Cunningham and McKinnon were solid defenders. Up to 5th.
