The Durhams were the first to show úp, for Freeman to hold up Jones. The winger then put past when well placed. Kenyon tested Wilson and both sides indulged in raids with the Durhams having the best of the mid-feld exchanges. Clarke gathered a Pass to run between the backs and net.
The referee, however, nullified the point for off-side. Half-time rived with the scores level.
As in the first half, the Durhams were the first to test the opposing keeper when Jones sent in a strong shot for Ellis to save. Another Durham forward movement saw Sand-house send in a fast drive for Ellis io bring off a goods ave. Clarke then tested the keeper to see off-side hold up the Durham attack, and the Loyals went away for Sharples to test Wilson after Clayton had done all the running. Sharples, a minute Tater, hit the side of the net with a fast drive.
Tley conceded a corner which Lester cleared for Sharples to send in a high dropping shot which went just outside the far post, The Loyals front line were doing better at this stage, and a combined movement saw Sharples shoot narrowly past from close in. At the other end Freeman held up Beach to send upfield to Clack. The pivot sent the ball out to the unmarked Clayton, who, cutting in, netted from a narrow angle, Wilson not attempting to save the shot.
