TubbyFC hosted a  strong Borough Miners FC squad who made the visit to Newlands Ave on Sat 10th Aug. A good turnout on Tubby hill down at Bennies in the excellent weather made way for a excellent 90mins of football. Both teams put on a excellent showing with plenty of goals between kick off and full time. TubbyFc started brightly with some early chances but on 13 mins Dryden found the head of Cobie Mellon from a cross to head past the keeper. Then on 29 mins it was Cobie Mellon who returned the favour to Dryden after dispossessing the ball from a miners defender. Crossed over to Dryden who looked like he had scuffed his chance but managed to take control again of the ball to put it in the back of the net.

Borough Miners then hit back with 2 goals within 4 mins to make it all square. 2 mins later TubbyFc struck again through Ryan Smith heading past the keeper from a Kieran Moynes cross.
