The smooth combination of the Loyals forward line began to click from the very start of the game. The Club defenders were immediately on the job. Turner and Bowen played a major part in defence of their goal. The soldiers were most active on the right where Pyett and Hancock\ excelled with scintillating runs. In five minutes' time, the Loyals had a chance to score but, missed as Capt. Cole drove against the right post. Pyett shot wild a few moments later and so did Hancock shortly afterwards.
Wilcox initiated a fine move on the left flank. He had Broadbent and Bowen beaten before handing the ball to Cole who brought the ball up into a safe position and took an angular shot which left Brazel standing.
Not the least down-hearted, the Club continued to give stubborn resistance. The halves' and backs Worked like trojans and their tireless efforts gradually commenced to succeed for the Clubs' forwards also hat the opportunity of harassing the Loyals' backs, although the army keeper was given practically no work Rockes, Slape, Bolan, Otterwell, Belerby and Pearson.
