Brown.

In.the 10th minute Kenyon, who was.playing well back to assist the defence, sent Cole down the field for the first time.

The Club settled down to business and began to apply pressure. From a short corner Cole rifled the ball into the side of the net.

Capt. Cole was closely watched by It. Clift. This enabled Pote-Hunt to have a free hand and he was very promising in his moves. Several times the fast inside-left dazzled into the opponents' areas and threatened to score. One minute before the interval Pote-Hunt finally allied on a fine solo to put the civilians one ahead.

The East Surreys made a strategic move as It, Clift interchanged with It. Hill in order to strengthen the offensive in view of the Club's shaky back line. This availed nothing as in the 14th minute Kenyon streaked through to score a neat goal. Two minutes later Shellam added a third point by repeating Kenyon's performance. In another two minutes It.

Clift broke into the scoring column. He dribbled past three defenders to place the ball out of Brazel's reach.
