Public School v. S.

In this match at Hongkew the School won the toss and kicked with the advantage of the wind, but the Club had their own way for a long while until the School pulled themselves into shape. From a good pass by Forshaw, Owing headed the ball into the net for the Club's first, and not long after the second goal went in for the Club when Deer centred and the ball was given to Nash who shot it into the goal. Forshaw kept the Club's forwards well together and he was responsible for the openings that were given. At half time the score was S.-C. 2, Public School 0.

In the second half the School seemed to have settled' down and had things their own way for a while. Deer scored the third for the Club and things began to look black for the School until Jesu took the ball down and gave an easy shot to Phillips which he could not clear. Moosa did some pretty work in getting round the Club's backs and drew Phillips out of the goal, and, having an open goal, he netted the ball, The game after that was very even with the odds on the Club, but no further score was made.
