Match Report

TTA report

Despite the heroics of Rough, 2 comic gifts made it 2-0 at h-t. After 4 attempts to clear their lines, a Campbell clearance hit a forward and went in (33) then panic struck the defence (44). O'Hara headed in (47) to reduce the lead but the fight-back was thwarted by the United keeper (ex-England cap, Bonetti).
