Saturday being an off day in the League programme, the only match of special interest was the five-a side competition for the Dell Shield, played in connex: on with the Police Sports. Playing on their own ground, a quintette of the Recreation Club met an S. RE. five and went down rather heavily. It was a fast and interesting game, with the En generally superior. Goldman put up a great performance, playing in his best style and scoring eight goals. He got four in the first half against one for the Rees., netted by Sofoulis just on the interval. Again in the second (half he found the net on four occasions, finishing up with a brilliant goal, while the Rees. could only put on two more, Johansson and Sofoulis being the scorers. Next to the extraordin narily good work of Goldman, the Club's success was due to the fact that they adopted tke rigitt style of play for a contest of this character, whereas the Recs. relied too much on individual work, and a good many solo efforts went astray.
