Two Corners

The Medicals were early on the attack and two corners fell to them in quick succession. Mortimer headed the second against the post to swe it go past. Then Buckley sent in a fine shot for Qhrini to clear, to see Braga place to Carenza, who, unable to go through, placed io Besci who scored from six yards to equalize the score.

Tt was a ding-dong affair from now on, and both sides had chances go to the lead, with the Medicals wasting most chances. However, after 35 minutes' play, Addington placed to Price who sent to Mortimer who did not make a mistake on this occasion when he beat Carini with a fine drive to give his side the lead.

The Italians equalized the score two minutes later when Jesu placed io Carenza who went through between the backs to score just as he was tackled. Three minutes later the issue was settled when, following a lot of pushing jand shoving in the Medicals penalty area, Braga scored with four or five players down on the ground. which was cleared by Leriou, and the School went away from the clearance. Shoustavick sent to Kidby who neatly placed the ball back to the winger who made ground. Armand conceded a corner to hold up the winger. Shoustavich prt over a fine ball from the corner kick and Tingle, meeting the ball with his head, put narrowly over the bar.

Kidby, gaining possession in wit-field, dribbled forward, beating two of the opposing halves who tackled then the two backs as they dashed in to put an end to his progress. as the result of fine ball control, to open the scoring with a fast rising shot which gave Peguy no chance, after thirty minutes' play.

This gave the School added confidence and they continued to have the best of the exchanges, although a little steadiness would have produced much better results.
