Costa Tower of Strength

Costa was a tower of strength to Lusitano, and V, Souza, Rozario and Collaco were a constant menace to the Recs' goal. They showed better understanding than the Recs and made use of ground passes to maintain contact with each other, methods which proved more profitable than those adopted by the Recs.

Mr. F, C. Hale was in charge of the game. Teams:

LUSITANO:—Souza, Marcal, Victal, a Maret Wal Baoi, SOB, Y. Blt Eichoff, Brodd, Madar, V, Symor gland, Lusitano kicked off, the Recs. commencing with only nine men. Eichoft saved from L. Rozario following some neat passing by Collaco and Silva. the Lusitano right wing pair. Costa sent his front line away with a n ground pass, and Collaco placed to Rozario whose shot struck the post, the rebound being cleared by Madar. The Recs, effort petered out as a result of the closeness of the inside men and the centre, and Costa had no difficulty in holding up Symons to send V. Sousa off goal-hunting
