After forty minutes play, the SFX. were awarded a penalty kick which was taken by Stangard, who converted with a time shot bringing ihe score to 2 each. This score remained over into the second half, but was finally broken when Favacho beat Kabbert the S.F.X. goalie giving the "Recs" a lead of 3 goals to 2 over their opponents, The game up to this period had been Very fast, with both teams showing speed and stamina, looking obviously very fit. There was no lack of effort on either side, although the S.E.X. after 30 minutes of play ihe second half, appeared to slacken somewhat and Aldeguer, with a fine dribbling run converted, giving his team their fifth goal. Shortly after this, Burenin, the Recs centre forward, increased the lead by sending in a shot which beat Kabbert and brought the, score up to 6-2.
