Scrappy Soccer Match at Race Course In a hard-fought soccer match at the Race Course, the boys of the Durham Light Infantry defeated the Cathedral School by four goals to two on Monday. Play was scrappy with occasional vigorous spurts by both sides.
The School, winning the toss, took advantage of the wind with the sun at their backs. This helped them to keep the ball in the Army area for ihe greater part of the first half.
A good forward movement made by the Army forwards after three minutes' play, brought the ball into the goal area of the School. In the melee, Starling collected after being struck by the ball and tried to clear but, being smothered by Army forwards, he only succeeded in throwing the ball at the feet of the Army's centre forward who drove it into the het with great force This seemed to buck the School up for they attacked with vigour for awhile but n. ed several opportunities of scoring throügh bad kicking. Eventually Brewer scored a goal, bringing loud cheers from the specta-for With ten minutes to go play was ding dong in the centre of the field. Then the Cathedral made an effort Which ended in Harvey achieving a very lucky goal.
