Playing against a depleted S.R.C. eleven, the Surreys had no difficulty to register an 8-0 victory at the Racecourse yesterday afternoon. A meagre crowd saw the Recs bested in absolutely every department of the game and the score is hardly the indication of the run of the play, for had the Surreys but been in better form, the Score would have been much larger. As it is the soldiers threw many chances away with wild kicking.
'The Londoners dominated the game throughout and the Rees' forwards rarely penetrated their half lime. Favacho was the only one of the forwards who played like his old self, but with nobody to support him, the veteran footballer was completely lost. The absence of their regular goalie was another reason for the Recs' downfall.
