Newtown goal blitz seals it
The city side showed plenty of spirit in a game that was always keenly contested, but their inability to put the ball in the net, or indeed to create any worthwhile goal chance, was the principal difference between the teams.
The game was delayed almost 10 minutes, the referee seeking to have both teams change jerseys due to the almost identical designs and colours, but was unable to do so. And while it proved a nightmare for spectators, both teams struggled also, making wholesale mistakes in tackling their own players and, on at least three occasions, passing the ball to opponents.
