The Rees defeated the Police at the Police grounds on Saturday by two goals to one, Only 35 minutes were played each way owing to the heat. Several new recruits played for both teams, the most promising of which were Jennsen for the Rees and the Police goal-keeper.
The first goal was scored Tardy in the latter part of the first If, which made the score one nil in favour of the Recs.—Shortly before the whistle blew for half time Jenson from outside left centred a beautiful corner which Brandt headed into the goal. During the first half the Recs were leading by two goals to nil.
During the second half the Rees had most of the game, but owing to the good play and many extraordinary saves by the Police goalkeeper they were not able to add anything to their score.
The Police broke through the Rees guards on several occasions but were only able to score on a centre from Hurry when Reid beat Brockett at close range to the goal.
