TTA report

A “farcical game” (GH). The non-league visitors (who had ex-JAGs Gettins and Branscombe in their line-up) were out of their depth and had conceded home advantage for the tie. Thomson in goal had nothing to do and it was 8-0 at half-time. The scorers were Hair (6), Grove (2), Gibson, McMullan, Ness.
