Fusiliers' Big Lead

As the half was drawing to a close Talbot again netted, this time. he calmly placed the ball to the left of Gaberman who expected it to come to his right. The next attack of the Soldiers was cleared by Herman, and Kimber sent to Solovieff who lobbed in for Manchip to hold and clear. Half-time: Club 1: Fusiliers 4.

The Soldiers increased their lead fust after the resumption, Dennis following a concerted movement beating Gaberman with ease. The same player shot past shortly afterwards. Keating held up Harris to send the ball to his pivot who placed for Taylor to run through on his own and score.

Mhe Club attacked and Kimber tried an overhead kick which Man-chip just managed to punch out. Play being transferred to the other end where Gaberman held shots from Talbot and Taylor. Kernaghan gathering a goal-kick sent to Parry Who slipped the ball to Taylor who with a shot well out of the reach of Gaberman netted.

From the kick-off, the Welch forwards were soon back in the vacinity of the Club goal, and poor defensive efforts saw Taylor score again.
