HEN the S.F.X. met the S.R.C. at the Canidrome yesterday, the spectators were provided with a very good display of football.
Both the teams showed spirit and dash almost throughout the entire first division league game, the S.F.X. weakening near the conclusion to lose 7-2.
Although not actually falling to pieces, the S.F.X. appeared to be losing heart after about 35 minutes of the second half, when the score stood in their opponents favour at 5-2.
The teams at the beginning of the game appeared to be evenly matched, both being obviously quite fit, and although the game was played in broiling sunshine, it did not appear to weaken their stamina, each team alternately taking the offensive and finishing with pot shots at goal.
The SFX. made a fine start in the first two minutes witha con-carted run through, sending a shot at goal which nicely beat Altclass, the S.R.C. goalie. With the ball on the move again the play became general up and down the field, each forward line, after clever passing across and back, finally being confronted with very determined defence who in turn, made fine clearance shots.
