Spurs Bitten By Bugs

Our hosts used the strong wind to full effect, including a wind assisted goal blown directly in from a corner, in the first half to take a commanding 4-0 lead into halftime.

Spurs never recovered from that halftime score line and, although did improve in the second half, lost 2 more goals while pushing for a reply.
