TTA report

Rovers had most of the early play but their finishing was poor. Gettins missed an open goal then Branscombe scored (35). McTurk had a fine save before Branscombe scored again just on half-time. The Rovers goalkeeper had a fine second half. On the balance of play however, a 2-0 margin was flattering.
