Ex Town keeper Phil Whitehead makes three outstanding first half saves to keep Tamworth in the game in an entertaining encounter. But Town are out-smarted by gritty Tamworth defending and a free ranging talented forward Rickards. It's the Bank Holiday blues yet again at the Shay. 

First Half
03 Powell heads wide for Tamworth.
05 Nice passing movement Elam to Mallon to Price on the right wing defender clears his cross.
09 Lee long range effort easily covered by ex Town keeper Whitehead.
10 Cooper long range effort over bar.
11 Two quick fire Town attempts on goal charged away.
13 Shot from Cullen just wide of the right post.
15 Elam tries his chance shot from distance, keeper Whitehead tips it onto the bar, ball bounces back into play and cleared.
17 A head back for a Mallon shot produces a miracle save from Whitehead parries it over.
19 Good cross field run from Elam sends Lee down the right wing, crossed for Killeen and another good stop by Whitehead who parries the ball out Cullen picks up loose ball and shoots over and wide.
