Spurs marched on to the next round of the cup with a hard working & committed team performance. With Casement out Beattie was pulled back into defence with Herd given the nod to partner Gay in centre midfield. An even first half, but Spurs made the breakthrough to take the lead, a good cross in to the Ferry box, & with the defence slow to react Herd hooked the ball over his head in to the net. Half time Spurs 1 Ferry 0. The second half opened & it was Spurs who started the brightest, a corner was awarded to the Spurs, Herd whipped in a vicious cross which took the slightest deflections & ended up in the net. Ferry tried to get back in the game, but the Spurs back line were immense, with the full backs Ellicott & Brown in control & the centre pairing of Beattie & Mayes snuffing out any threat through the middle. Spurs wrapped up the game when Mcintosh received the ball on the right after a good move & stroked a left foot shot past the outstretched keeper into the corner. A mention for Spurs keeper Barclay who had a fine game, his handling at crosses was first class.
