The attacking department of the Durhams was considerably weakened owing to the absence of Bolan who was on the sick list. Ca-hension was entirely lacking among the forwards who were seen playing individually rather than as a unit. In the first half the whole front line failed time and again to get into a "break" which, if materialized, would have meant Success, for the Club defenders had advanced too far up the field. A quick transfer of play as likely to spell disaster but the soldiers could never make for it and fell by two clear goals at half-time. It was chiefly due to possessing better staying powers that the deficit was reduced. Pearson and Bolan tallied a goal each upon resumption to Cause a deadlock, However, the Infantrymen were by no means without any opportunity of scoring a victory. Lieutenant Fox-Davis was given two glorious chances in front Of an open goal but the officer failed to bring about any result.
