The Durhams attacked and Fulton crossed for Robinson to miss the ball. Cope' managed to beat Feeney and place to Lamb. who shot for Parki: son to kick off the line with Jackson beaten, Barton sent Taylor away, but Allan stopped him, and the Durhams pressed, Thomasson sent to Robinson who crossed for Jackson to save at the post. Parkinson was penalized, and Referee Sinclair awarded a penalty after seven minutes' play. Thomasson put past, the impression created being that he had not tried to score.
The Loyals changed their tactics and began to swing the ball more and not attempt to dribble it through the water, and this proved a much more paying proposition. Swarbrick lashed the ball forward for Allan to fail to clear and Sharples gathered and, shooting as Lough advanced, netted to equalize the score after twelve minutes' play.
The Winning Shot Then came the winner after 37 minutes' play. Thomasson stopped a clearance 45 yards out then let drive. The ball went goal wards into the net, a winner all the way.
Barton, who had been injured just prior to the scoring of the goal when taking a strong drive by Brown in the stomach, was carried off at this point and did not return, Yates going back.
In spite of their efforts, the Loyals could not equalize, and the final whistle sounded with the Durhams the winners.
At the conclusion of the game, Major-General A.P.D. Telfer-Smollett presented the cup to Fulton, the captain of the Durhams. Mr. Grimshaw, before calling upon the General to make the presentation, congratulated both sides on the gallant and sporting display. He presented Major-General Telfer-Smollett with a medal after he had presented the cup, and called for three cheers, which met with a ready response.
