The centre picked up another pass from d'Aquino and netted, but offside nullified the point, Costa then tried another long range shot which Eichoff did well to hold. The Recs. scored just before the interval when Greaves sent Ryan away the ball being crossed for Drossell to net.
In the second half, the Recs had plenty of opportunities to score, }chance after chance being wasted. Eichoff was constantly called upon to deal with shots, and brought off some good saves. Souza, at the other end, was well covered by his backs and as a result had nothing deadly to handle. The Clube outside right running back took the ball from Ryan, beating Greaves to pass to Collaco who slipped the ball to Rozario. The centre beat Bulldeath with ease and then Madar, slipped the ball for Collaco to net.
The Club forwards could make no impression on a solid Fusiliers defence, although Passikides eventually made ground after beating Gresty to finish with a shot which Manchip pulled down from under the bar. Jensen then carried the ball down-field, and Harris kicked the ball against Wanklyn to gain a corner. Keating cleared, passing to Kenaghan. The pivot passed to Talbot who scored, Solovieff made a valiant effort which petered out near goal for want of support.
