Match Summary
|
The South Stand is shut at 1.30 pm on a warm afternoon and the crowd is cheered when Phillips races away to place a cross-shot past Smith. Without displaying their usual fluency, Harris makes it 2-0 driving home after his initial shot hit the keeper, then he wraps it up at the death.
