Match Report

TTA report

The first half was largely a non-event. When O'Hara and the keeper went for a cross, the ball broke off O'Hara for the opener (59) then Watson rode 2 tackles and shot home from 20 yards (61). Morton, stung into action, gave Rough something to do and scored late on but it was a comfortable enough win.
